Yes B87 is right, in fact I'll try and find some pictures, but they are in my garden a lot. They seem to love my cherry tree, there can be over 10 of them at once. I used to wonder what they were and asked my dad, as I didn't know that we got parrots here.

I see them a lot around here, they are green birds that look like parrots and until recently I didn't know what they were.. but it seems like this is what they are:

They are small parrots

I didn't say they are native to the UK. But they are here. Just like grey squirrels are not native to the UK but they were introduced and are now everywhere.

Yet they are still here and still increasing in numbers, so obviously not.

Yea but grey squirrels came from a similar climate and don't have to adapt.
