Parakeets have established themselves in London, causing both fascination and frustration among locals. The birds, originally from Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, have been spotted in the leafiest parts of the city and surrounding counties.
They are known for their bright green plumage and have become a common sight in southwest London. However, their presence has also raised concerns about their impact on native British species, with some conservation groups arguing that they are responsible for squeezing out native birds and damaging crops.
On the other hand, some Londoners believe that the parakeets are a nuisance and should be controlled. The UK government has been asked to permit the culling of the birds, but a decision is yet to be made.
Meanwhile, scientists are divided on the issue, with some arguing that the parakeets do significant harm to native species while others believe that they are not a major threat. The debate has sparked a heated discussion among locals, with some calling for the birds to be protected and others advocating for their control
