They have adapted well,not their fault they were released by humans.I know there are calls for them to be culled as an invasive species in some ares.
Yea they seem to do really well, it's a shame people want them culled, but I do get it if they're wiping out other birds.. Idk if they are tho, other than being loud they let the pigeons and little birds feed at the same time and never cause issues amongst the other birds that I've seen.. There's lots of feeders though so enough for everyone, maybe if I only had one, they'd chase the others away? Idk

'Not great photos'. You're having a giggle aren't you? They're really good.
You have quite the managerie there. I've not seen that many bird feeders since I was at work (we sell them).
They look like either green parrots or parokeets? But they seem to be quite the dominance in the pecking order (no pun intended). So they may keep the smaller birds, wrens, **** and robins away. You could try suet feeders, mealworms and suet pellets for the smaller birds. Robins will happily feed off the ground. Coconut feeders might be helpful for the small birds as well.
That said, it's a wonderful variety and the birds certainly know where the best tucker is.

Yes, we have to cover up the chickens' dustbathing area every night as next door's cat thinks it's an area made soft just for cats. Is it on your bark?

Well they are taken on a phone very far away, super zoomed in, through glass too, not exactly the recipe for a great picture [emoji38]
Think they're parakeets, we have lots in London /greater London they escaped from a zoo or someone released them (a long long time ago) and they've multiplied since [emoji38]
Yesss I do have quite a lot of bird feeders... [emoji38] I just want to make sure there's enough for everyone and the birds really seem to love it, so yea, I know it looks a bit mad [emoji38]
Tell you what no one messes with our Robin, he is a force to be reckoned with [emoji38] they do all seem to be okay if you zoom in there's loads of little birds on one of the feeders when the parakeets are also there
There's a mix of feeds up there I buy them in the huge 12kg sacks from vet UK, I do also do fat nuggets but stop when it's nearing baby bird time because I read its bad for the babies.
Haven't seen coconut feeders, I'll have to Google them

Yes we have lots of them, they're heavy birds, I have to put some feeders near sturdy branches for them [emoji38][emoji38]
