\nRing-necked Parakeet at Fog Lane Park, Didsbury.<\/p>\n

Currently there\u2019s thought to be up to 20 of these Parakeets around the south Manchester area with Fog Lane Park, Alexandra Park and Southern Cemetery being amongst the more regular haunts. In contrast to the situation in London the number of birds up here have been fairly steady over the past 10 years. Even when it dropped to \u201315C last winter they didn\u2019t seem to be affected. Originally within this country they were referred to as Rose-ringed Parakeets however the RSPB and BTO seemed to have adopted the alternative and less exotic name of Ring-necked Parakeet.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

This particular bird has been roosting with the parakeets for the past couple of years. Again primarily a tropical species originating from South America and the Caribbean it appears to have adapted to life within south Manchester\u2019s suburbs. Unfortunately the related Crimson Rosella another member of the south Manchester flock of parrots didn\u2019t make it though last winter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
