Quite.
Pretty bird, nasty noise, dreadful damage to trees especially the young buds
and new growth, they seem to do it for fun. Parked under a Conker Tree in

more raining down to the constant squawks.

They also have a delightful habit of taking a bite out of an apple, then
moving on the next apple for another bite, and so on and so on.....:-((
