Unusual covid in they rarely seen in pairs or groups.

My mate has a flock of them coming and going in his garden although he does back onto some woods.,

Very pretty birds. All we seem to get is magpies and ****ing parakeets.

I quite like seeing parakeets but it's only very occasionally if I'm visiting the Thames Valley area, I know they've spread like wildfire and I've heard they can be a nuisance?

Took this in my garden a few years ago now. Poor wood pigeon couldn’t get a look-in!

I take it that they drive away smaller local birds, that's a shame.

Invasive species of all types are bad for the indigenous populations.

Feeding seagulls?

Reported.

Was walking round Stratford upon Avon and saw a lone pigeon scratching around. I decided to share some of my Greggs sausage roll with him and before I knew it, I was mobbed by pigeons and seagulls. I like the seagulls because they will take it out of your hand in flight or even catch it if you throw something up to them.

That scene brings back memories, when I was in the forces I was stationed in Long Marston for a while and we used to go into Stratford each weekend, not seen it since but looks just the same.
