Hi all,

I sent a message yesterday regarding Parakeets in London and other
parts of the UK. I received some very helpful responses. As I
mentioned, I am a journalist with the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation and am doing a radio story on this topic. I would very
much like to speak with anybody who has stories about the parakeets.
The Wraysbury area sounds particularly interesting. If you have any
stories, or have friends who have stories, please let me know, via
email at I am getting a bit desperate at this
point because I really need a source who can comment from their first
hand experiences with the birds. Any help, or contact information
would be most greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
Ben

Not really what you are looking for, but maybe you would be interested
to know there is also a pretty large parakeet population in Brussels,
Belgium. I don't really have nice stories about them, though. Sorry.

Interesting, Thanks, I'll pass that bit of info on to my girlfriend who
lives approx 20 km from Brussels. She has a large Birch tree and in recent
months a parrot of some sort has moved in.
