Bloody hell, i thought people would just give them away! Wrong side of the city @Ingram85 but there is a big shop by Sutton tip, called the re-users shop. Second hand stuff that people have donated. I had a nose around there pre-Xmas as it was by the garage where my MOT was being done. I'm sure they had CRTs there - its a big place. Stock changes all the time though. Might be worth a call/email to see if they have any? Website link- https://www.thereusers.uk/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Saw the most parakeets I'd ever seen in one tree a few days ago in Clapham. Then I saw this pic from Stoke Park 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Grove Park. It's Bromley way. There will be a few in Stoke Park, it's further west than Isleworth. I believe the colonies established themselves in the West around the Thames first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some conjecture but the most commonly held story is that some escaped from the set of The African Queen which was being filmed in part at the old Isleworth Studios in the early 1950s. They're voracious breeders by all accounts. I regularly see them perched on my bird feeders out the back and think I might even have posted pics on here in the past. Apparently their numbers are now at a stage where some are calling for a cull because they're a pest. I'm not sure why they're any more of a pest than any other bird. Sure they're noisy but no more so than the murder of crows that regularly congregate in the park over the back of my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 My neighbour didn't like them much. Think they've got into annually stripping the fruit trees on his allotment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
