    Apparently, these parrots were brought over by some rich bloke hundreds of years ago. They escaped (obviously) and adapted to the climate. Very prevalent in Kent. Interesting.

    P'raps they adapted to the climate and the then escaped.

    (This is meant to be a humorous comment but I've forgotten the colour codes, so if you're all going to pile on please co-ordinate your colours)

    There are loads of myths as to how they came to being released, including one involving Jimmy Hendrix releasing a load. I have family in Surrey and the actual reason is that in the great storms of 1987 a roof blew off a large local aviary and a load of them escaped. My sister regularly has six or more of them on her bird feeders. They are noisy bastards though

    That actually makes sense. Michael Fish' fault.

    Michael Fish wasn't German.

    Obviously, because if he was, that weather forecast would've been spot on and down to the minute. That's the Germans for you.
