Once more, about the feral parakeets in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
This morning, the city ecologist said there are now about 3,000 ring-necked parakeets, and 100 Alexandrine parakeets in Amsterdam.
This is a video of a ring-necked parakeet nest in the Vondelpark, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
In autumn and (early) winter, ring-necked parakeets gather in big flocks of hundreds or thousands of birds to sleep together in trees. Now, these flocks are getting smaller; as ring-necked parakeets nest early. They are dispersing to find good nesting sites.
This video is about ring-necked parakeets and Alexandrine parakeets in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam.
Alexandrine parakeets are about 10cm bigger than ring-necked parakeets. They also have bigger bills and darker neck-rings.
