We have some wild parakeets living locally….I’m sure that there will be a collective name for them but im not sure what it is.
Anyway, said parakeets are green in colour. There is usually a couple of dozen flying around together ….they look so beautiful.
They are also quite noisy birds….i love to hear them but they do make a racket sometimes. They have just flown passed and were chirping as they went.

I wonder if they are what we call budgerigars. The native ones are green but people breed all sorts of colours now.

Just now
@Traceyjayne That'a interesting. I wonder if the parakeets have another name but maybe that is their 'real' name.

The budgies we have here are much smaller than these parakeets.

They used to be in the arboretum….about three miles away
They moved to the woods by my Moms house ….about 1/4 mile away
They have recently moved again to the tall trees three gardens away.
Maybe in a week or two they will be next to me on the settee watching tv…..
