@@thekraken1173 they drive out threatened bird species and outcompete other birds for food resources, not to mention the damage they do to trees with their wasteful feeding habits. They just get pretty privilege because they are colourful.
@theotheseaeagle did you not watch the video? their messy eating habits leaves smaller native birds to have food still. and this is their way to pollinate their surroundings.Infact, the native crows cause a mess by taking out trash from bins and throwing them out everywhere.
@ parakeets do not spread the seeds of native plants. They drop them around the base of the parent tree where they cannot grow and germinate, whilst robbing native species of valuable resources. Crows actually bury the seeds of native plants where they actually can germinate and are therefore much more beneficial than the invasive parakeets. Again parakeets get let of easy due to their pretty privilege
These beautiful birds are native to Pakistan and India. In Pakistan their numbers have declined sharply. People would pick up their chicks or catch the birds to sell in pet markets. They are great at mimicking words and this in turn makes them even more attractive as pets. Has been one of my dreams to see them be able to fly free in Pakistan instead of being confined to the tiny cages we so often see them in. Perhaps one day..
They were imported into the UK as India Ringneck Parakeets.. Another common imported Ringneck Parakeet was the smaller and slightly duller African Ringneck.. There are many species of Ringneck Parakeet but for some reason the so called bird experts fail to identify them correctly and instead give them the broad name of Rose Ringed Parakeets..

I have one. Her name is Shrek. I love her to pieces and we have a very close bond. I wish my husband liked her as much. They HATE one another. As much as I love her, I can totally understand why people would hate having a whole flock as neighbors.
Your parrot has become too dependent on you and may have hormonal problems if they dislike others. Try to spend less time with them which will make them less dependent on you and they will also start liking others.
I live in Michigan in the USA where European Starlings are considered an invasive species. It's amusing to see them in their native habitat (14:40), competing with other "invasive" species at bird feeders instead of the other way around, lol.😆😆
Our European Starlings are amazing birds and again wont be a problem to Natives....l have a Male who brings all his kids to eat cat nuts every year...Beauty. His wife Pretty isnt as friendly...and the young ones bring their friends too... Its 4 bags of 3 kilos of cat nuts a week in full breeding season 😂😂😂
European starlings are invasive in the US and place certain pressure to native ecosystem. But, as far as I understand, it's not a big issue here, and their overall numbers in the US are decreasing rather than increasing. Very often they form big mixed flocks with the native American Common Grackle birds. I live in Maryland and often see those mixed flocks on our feeders. Grackles are a little bit bigger than starlings.
@@catherine_404 they are very friendly and intelligent.. my parakeet stayed with us for 25 years.. I got her when she just hatched from her egg... She was never caged always lived freely and used to play with us every time... Last month a stray cat got her . When I was not at home 😢.. I miss her so much 😭
The solution to their population growing out of hand is simple: each year following a count, provide nest boxes, not just for the parrots but for for human accessibility, then remove all eggs except one (so the parents will stay busy for that season and not re-nest) from as many boxes as would ensure zero population growth.
That's similar to what I had to do when 4 'cute, fun' homing pigeons that soon turned into a strafing squadron on a horse farm I worked at. Kray-zee!! "The Birds", lol
Don't portray these Parrots as Criminals. Birds know no boundaries. And for your kind information I would like to say you that these parrots can dig holes in the trees if natural holes are not present. So, these innocent birds do not pose competition for houses to other birds. Welcome these beautiful Parrots 🦜 ❤️ 💖
I know they might be immigrants but they are highly intelligent. I see them almost every day outside my window in London. Let them roam around please, they don’t see this is my country or your country, they don’t need a visa to go anywhere around the world, they only see it’s their world and they don’t see the division like most humans do.

@@MONGO77859 but even that isn't an issue. they usually stay away from crows. the little tiny birds nest holes are just too tiny for them, so they don't really take away their nesting area either. when it comes to food, they are messy eaters, because of this, any food that falls down is eaten by the smaller native birds. and if not, it helps with pollination.
My home town in India has these green parakeets with black ring. There populatin was round 700k in 1970 and gone down to 150K. They live in numbers in my grandpa's house. Yes they fly in numbers. Every Evening they fly back to their nests.
Here they are!!! One evening of the super hot 2022 summer I saw a huge flock of birds flying over Springfield Park in North London. They landed on a tree just in front of me. They were so noisy.

I even thought they might have escaped from the London zoo.😂 I didn't know about the presence of these exotic birds in the U.K.🦜 It has been a very cool experience though.
I quite enjoy seeing them fly around, I hear them more than I can see them, though. They seem to avoid the local crows, whenever I put out a little bit of food the crows and magpies keep them away
Quite common in India. They can be tamed and taught to speak. Some can aquire quite an extensive vocabulary! In Delhi the parks had hundreds till the 1980s when they started thinning out.

It was their calls that 1st alerted me to their prescence, then a flock of approx 50 birds, flew overhead, landing in Rowan trees, that were in bud, I cant see any problem with them, since theyre not well adapted to our cold,harsh winters, and they fill a gap, of the birds we have wiped out, through habitat destruction and environmental stressors.... Doubtless, many folk will disagree with me,,, ~but our ubiquitous,~ House Sparrows are nearly gone, and the Wood Pigeon has gone ftom "Countryside Pest" to The Most Common UK Town//Garden bird, now!!

I love parakeets or all kind! If they come to United States NY I will be so happy and I will take one home or two. They are adorable and I love the sounds they make. I always wanted one they are so cute!!!
We also have them here in Richmond park London. They have spread to my garden neighbourhood in north London which I find exciting. I am planning to do a re ramp on my garden to attract them in. Can’t wait for spring / summer
Here in Athens, Greece, parakeets are niw wide-spread in every park of the city! The first butch was accidentally released 30 years ago, when a big pet cage at the airport broke down and dozens of birds were released.
I have an olive green Indian ringneck. My little guy is cool and is extremely talkative. I call their screams, alarm clocks 🤣🤣 these birds are truly amazing though and very beautiful.
how could people look at these cute goobers and say "we need to eradicate them". I do feel bad about the natives though :(. Huh it seems they aren't really direct competitors with any local species which just makes them even better :D
Seems like all Pakistanis and indians these birds also love to live far from their original counties 😜 they prefer Europe more 😅 i hope they get their citizenship these poor souls 😢
Pests that compete with indigenous birds for nesting sites. The noise they make drowns out rhe mating calls if smaller quieter birds. They also destroy fruiting buds on trees. Ecological disaster in he making.
4000 individuals isn't a lot, in fact it's an extremely small number and those birds are definitely inbred, so as time goes on and the number increases, the damage they do to the local ecosystem will show itself, eventually. At least their sensitivity to cold will limit how many there can realistically be. Other places might not be so lucky.
You don't understand natural selection that occurs even in urban ecosystems. Yellow and blue Parakeets are targeted by birds of prey, as are white Doves and Pigeons. Tawny Owls, Eurasian Sparrowhawks, Grey Herons, and Peregrines all prey on Ringneck Parakeets, and will enthusiastically remove color variants.
@barsozuguler4300 budgies aren't difficult to breed in captivity they'll readily breed in captivity if it is breeding season and the weather conditions are right that initiate mating.
Lots of them in the Athens/Piraeus urban complex, and in other Greek major cities all four species of them . They appeared in the early 90s,and they seem to be getting along with the native species. Greek weather suits them fine too.
I can see the concern, I own 2 Parrakeets myself, and they have taken over our house, deliberately buzzing us as they fly by, bullying and chasing our dog around, pretty much dominating the house.
they have been studied in france for at least ten years. the communists have nothing else to do, and the conclusion is that their population grows until it stabilizes at a number that is not very embarrassing for the fauna and flora. concerning the local species, they do not interfere with the nesting of any of them. the problem that could be put on their back is that they eat a lot of food that our native birds need in winter. there are some in my city. they are very discreet and to see them you have to be observant. if you do not really pay attention to the birds, you will never see them, or really only by chance, even in the middle of the city.
They are, for that reason in their native region of Indian subcontinent they are highly sought after by locals as pets sometimes even effecting their natural numbers due to poaching or illegal pet trade.
No need to be scared of these parrots, they are smart. Teach them to talk or some curse words and you'll be entertained forever. They'll be your best friends eventually 😅
Such beautiful creatures. We have lots of them here in India. 😊 7:37 EU should worry about the millions of illegal immigrants coming there and not about these gorgeous birds. 😅
As cute and charming as they are, the chances of these parakeets becoming invasive is incredibly high which could have negative consequences on wildlife and the ecosystem as they could compete for food/resources and nesting areas which could decline the numbers of the native birds
I worry a bit as a gardener, because I saw how destructive parrots can be to the fruit trees. They're beautiful for sure, but should be kept in check by increasing number of birds of prey.
So far they are keeping to urban areas. Cities are more welcoming. People set out bird feeders and there are places to warm up on cold nights ie. electrical transformers and building vents.
@@universeslap The trouble with the Peregrine Falcon is that they think they need vast territories even in the city with enormous amounts of pigeons and parakeets. There is definitely food for dozens of breeding pairs in amsterdam, but there is only a few breeding pairs.
Sad thing is these parrots are doing better in non native countries versus country of origin because of people that are catching wild parrots bringing them into to the bird trade loss of habitat.
@@klaasdeboer8106 maybe reintroduction of other birds like owls or eagles could be possible? I don't really know much about this problem, but I can guess, that accidental poisoning of birds of prey by rat poison/poisoned rodents is big problem near human habitation. Maybe that needs to be solved first.
They are such pretty birds and no I don't find their call irritating. They are very intelligent birds, they make great pets, they can learn to talk like humans.

they have been studied in france for at least ten years. the communists have nothing else to do, and the conclusion is that their population grows until it stabilizes at a number that is not very embarrassing for the fauna and flora. concerning the local species, they do not interfere with the nesting of any of them. the problem that could be put on their back is that they eat a lot of food that our native birds need in winter.
there are some in my city. they are very discreet and to see them you have to be observant. if you do not really pay attention to the birds, you will never see them, or really only by chance, even in the middle of the city.
looks really affectionate 4:28
They are, for that reason in their native region of Indian subcontinent they are highly sought after by locals as pets sometimes even effecting their natural numbers due to poaching or illegal pet trade.
Lol those parrots are illegal to be owned in india coz they are endangered what do you mean pests 😅🤣
No they are not Illegal to to own them as pets I have them in my house
@@Ronifromearthit's illegal if someone reports you
Cotorras 🇦🇷 they’re loud af but I love em anyway 😂
No need to be scared of these parrots, they are smart. Teach them to talk or some curse words and you'll be entertained forever. They'll be your best friends eventually 😅
Amazing video. Thank you!
They have the right of migration.
Being stressed does not disrupt their need for protection. It heightens it.
We have them in Glasgow 🏴 Victoria park and Knightswood areas. The magpies chase them.
We also have them in Southern California
Such beautiful creatures. We have lots of them here in India. 😊
7:37 EU should worry about the millions of illegal immigrants coming there and not about these gorgeous birds. 😅
I know that parakeets are all over London, or so my daughter tells me!
They definitely are.!
Wow! You think that bad, wait to see cockatoos!
There r sooooo cute ❤😮
we have them in Krimpen ( near Gouda and Rotterdam) love tthem❤
These are spreading at an alarming rate across the uk.
They should colonize UK as a revenge
As cute and charming as they are, the chances of these parakeets becoming invasive is incredibly high which could have negative consequences on wildlife and the ecosystem as they could compete for food/resources and nesting areas which could decline the numbers of the native birds
I worry a bit as a gardener, because I saw how destructive parrots can be to the fruit trees. They're beautiful for sure, but should be kept in check by increasing number of birds of prey.
So far they are keeping to urban areas. Cities are more welcoming. People set out bird feeders and there are places to warm up on cold nights ie. electrical transformers and building vents.
@@universeslap The trouble with the Peregrine Falcon is that they think they need vast territories even in the city with enormous amounts of pigeons and parakeets. There is definitely food for dozens of breeding pairs in amsterdam, but there is only a few breeding pairs.
Sad thing is these parrots are doing better in non native countries versus country of origin because of people that are catching wild parrots bringing them into to the bird trade loss of habitat.
@@klaasdeboer8106 maybe reintroduction of other birds like owls or eagles could be possible? I don't really know much about this problem, but I can guess, that accidental poisoning of birds of prey by rat poison/poisoned rodents is big problem near human habitation. Maybe that needs to be solved first.
they are here to stay so leave them alone
After watching “The Boy and the Heron” I don’t trust parakeets anymore. 😅
this doc should have been about the british ringnec ks, we have had them loose in the uk way before the germans
when you have a social very intelligent animal; they proliferate and learn quickly how to do well
Sick camera work
its our beloved birds of subcontinent indo pak bangladesh its is wonderful pet and this is very harmful for these birds natural life in indo pak
Human was the cause why parakeets from India came to Europe. You humans are the one to blame not these birds.
There are breeding pairs in Harrisons Plantation, Nottingham.
They can be seen periodically in the city I live in (izmir-turkey). Here we call them "Pakistani parrot". quite noisy birds :)
