| | | Green SnowBirds
Got this photo this morning when we went for a walk in Cold Fall Woods, in North London-
there was something just a bit incongruous about seeing them in the snow.   |

Yeah the snow doesn't really fit with it's tropical character and call. They certainly stand out!

There are a few subspecies of rose ringed/ringnecked parakeet and some come from northern India, Pakistan and Nepal so our winters should not be too difficult for them, but I agree they do look a bit odd in snow covered trees.
I suppose it is because we tend to think of parrots as tropical birds.

They occur in the foothills of the Himalayas + can cope with the snow far better than many of our smaller native species. Also they can usually still access food supplies as they are mainly arboreal feeders. | | |
