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.
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
