These pictures were taken twenty minutes ago in our garden in SE23 not at some big greenhouse at Kew. They were done on a mobile, no Bill Oddie long lens “twitchers in a disguised shed” business either. We’re still in shock here!

There was an audience of one human being and two cats in shock at its cheekiness. Shall we just give it our front door keys and be done with it?

Those SE23 parakeets are getting worse! Stevyn Iron Feather Journal mentioned we should get a scarecrow and we thought it might be taking it a bit too far. He may be right!
