I think it's all my bird feeders... They've been here a lot recently [emoji38] wonder if I should buy some food that parakeets eat... Or if the normal seeds are fine Idk [emoji38] we have a lot of bird feeders in the garden because I love pigeons and we have some tiny birds living in our bamboo Jack's-Jane

Escaped aviary birds from years ago,adapted well to life in the wild.Same thing happened with collared doves years ago .The wood pigeon in that photo seems to look like..."bloody foreigners"
I thought that :lol: He doesn't look too happy with the visitors :lol:

Whenever there's a weather outside broadcast on BBC Breakfast in any London park there's always some in the background squawking away I remember a nature programme on urban wildlife saying they must be doing alright because big green feathers were commonly being found in peregrine nests!

You'll have to zoom in.. Not great pictures, but there's about 20 of these parrot things in my garden [emoji38]
Parakeets maybe? Idk [emoji38]
Ah, I get those too, they are parakeets
Mind you I thought there were more than you said, as I thought all the pegs on your line were parakeets too until I zoomed in :lol:

They're so loud! And the other birds look at them strangely [emoji38][emoji38]

Someone gave me some Minky pegs as a pressie, and I thought they were lovely. The colours are superb.
But they keep breaking and pinging off my line
Ah no!Someone gave me some Minky pegs as a pressie, and I thought they were lovely. The colours are superb.

My mum is super accident prone.. Like mad stuff happens to her [emoji38] she was hanging something out and one of the pegs broke and hit her on the eyeball... I can't even tell you how she managed it, it's so unbelievable [emoji38]
Other than that, not had too many break but normally we bring them in, in the autumn, til spring, because we don't dry anything outside then, this year that hasn't happened though [emoji38]

Oh my! I have to say I feel a bit like your Mum with the 'it couldn't possibly happen' stuff ...
You really couldn't make it up!
I keep my Minkies indoors, so they shouldn't be complaining about the cold.
There's no pleasing some pegs, is there?
Did you see how I deftly derailed your thread. And you being a Mod and all .....
