Our Alien Animal: Parakeets | Documentary

[@shilpagadre2226]

They are such pretty birds and no I don't find their call irritating. They are very intelligent birds, they make great pets, they can learn to talk like humans.

[@capricorn9186]

Yeah❤

[@honestlykyle]

I live in Michigan in the USA where European Starlings are considered an invasive species. It's amusing to see them in their native habitat (14:40), competing with other "invasive" species at bird feeders instead of the other way around, lol.😆😆

[@amandadonegan2137]

Our European Starlings are amazing birds and again wont be a problem to Natives....l have a Male who brings all his kids to eat cat nuts every year...Beauty. His wife Pretty isnt as friendly...and the young ones bring their friends too... Its 4 bags of 3 kilos of cat nuts a week in full breeding season 😂😂😂

[@magscat3161]

I have one. Her name is Shrek. I love her to pieces and we have a very close bond. I wish my husband liked her as much. They HATE one another. As much as I love her, I can totally understand why people would hate having a whole flock as neighbors.

[@CosmicOrangeCat]

Your husband will soon love her! My partner didn't really consider owning his own conure before he met my 4 babies lol

[@jennybishop119]

I love all parrots and parakeets I hav lots of wild birds in my garden including rainbow lorkeets

[@piquertube]

We have those also in the Netherlands they are the decendants from birds escaped/released via hobby holders

[@lovepet4565]

They are all over Florida too I wish we had them here in NC

[@corneeouwehandt]

I have seen them all over the place from The Hague to Haarlem and every place in between, especially in my hometown Katwijk and surrounding towns.

[@61percentodicarica]

I've seen the same parrots in some parks in Milan too, with the same explanation

[@greenwood-1426]

So beautiful birds 🕊️

[@RustyShackleford-]

So much personality in such a little thing. The bearded ones, we used to call them uncles. Would ask for advice and they would talk to us.

[@alhkcblack9617]

These guys are the most beautiful birds, super cute and intelligent. Your community is lucky to have them. Leave them alone!

They are here in droves in North West London. I love them❤❤❤

[@normanwilson5962]

I was born in Jamaica and for decades these lovely birds have always been with us.

I love all parrots and parakeets I feed wild birds in my garden and rainbow lorakeets

[@MKc-pm9tw]

The solution to their population growing out of hand is simple: each year following a count, provide nest boxes, not just for the parrots but for for human accessibility, then remove all eggs except one (so the parents will stay busy for that season and not re-nest) from as many boxes as would ensure zero population growth.

[@ishtiaqali2373]

Absolutely magical creatures۔

[@Ninten064]

We have these parrots in Bakersfield California most amazing species to survive and adapt to our city

[@theamyway4832]

It's not their fault they've found new places to thrive in.

[@Animalhome-real]

looks really affectionate 4:28

[@soumaSR]

They are, for that reason in their native region of Indian subcontinent they are highly sought after by locals as pets sometimes even effecting their natural numbers due to poaching or illegal pet trade.

[@adyfinch2918]

Nice 😊 I got 5 in my garden last week. 👍

[@amaizinggirlzfairy]

I love parakeets or all kind! If they come to United States NY I will be so happy and I will take one home or two. They are adorable and I love the sounds they make. I always wanted one they are so cute!!!

[@adamhousden6349]

no you wont, they arent tame !?!?!?!?!? stupid comment to make

[@MOVIEHUB-zone]

I am from India and they are native to india and southeast Asia

[@shilpagadre2226]

​@@adamhousden6349 They are tame. Many are had as pets across the Indian subcontinent.

[@lovepet4565]

We used to have a CAROLINA PARAKEET they were killed to extinction in 1800s I really wish they wiuld bring them back

[@AndreaDingbatt]

Was suprised in Milton Keynes by a flock of These Exotic birds!! It was their calls that 1st alerted me to their prescence, then a flock of approx 50 birds, flew overhead, landing in Rowan trees, that were in bud, I cant see any problem with them, since theyre not well adapted to our cold,harsh winters, and they fill a gap, of the birds we have wiped out, through habitat destruction and environmental stressors.... Doubtless, many folk will disagree with me,,, ~but our ubiquitous,~ House Sparrows are nearly gone, and the Wood Pigeon has gone ftom "Countryside Pest" to The Most Common UK Town//Garden bird, now!!

[@JurajHynek]

There r sooooo cute ❤😮

[@Punjabi_americans]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@amandadonegan2137]

I know theres some in Dublin now. Escaped or released. I cant see them as a Pest or danger so let them live 💚 Nature will balance things. 50 years in Cologne and theyre still not an ecological problem..🤷‍♀️

[@marikav8678]

Really interesting! It's so hard ti find good and documentaries on parrots And, especially, on this specific topic Thanks for sharing!

i love parrots

[@zainmudassir2964]

I like parrots native to my country Pakistan also thriving in Europe.

[@shaneemmerson4658]

These are spreading at an alarming rate across the uk.

[@user-jn6gh4yb1g]

[@shobhit7111]

Yes 🙁

[@lizzy66125]

we have them in Krimpen ( near Gouda and Rotterdam) love tthem❤

[@taimoorrajput2634]

These beautiful birds are native to Pakistan and India. In Pakistan their numbers have declined sharply. People would pick up their chicks or catch the birds to sell in pet markets. They are great at mimicking words and this in turn makes them even more attractive as pets. Has been one of my dreams to see them be able to fly free in Pakistan instead of being confined to the tiny cages we so often see them in. Perhaps one day..

[@Forestfalcon1]

They were imported into the UK as India Ringneck Parakeets.. Another common imported Ringneck Parakeet was the smaller and slightly duller African Ringneck.. There are many species of Ringneck Parakeet but for some reason the so called bird experts fail to identify them correctly and instead give them the broad name of Rose Ringed Parakeets..

[@Leo-rd7dt]

So sad that these birds are meant to be fly free but we humans kept them in cage for our own entertainment 😢

[@Forestfalcon1]

@@Leo-rd7dt People keep them because they love them.. This love of them is also the driving to protect them in the wild.. Unfortunately there is a lot of ignorance and cruelty which comes with the desire to keep them.. They didn't evolve in Europe or here in the UK.. It's a testament to their survival instincts adapting to a completely different environment and food supply.. There are many things I disagree with in captivity.. But at the same time there is much we have learned which helps us save many species from extinction..

[@MrPaoTrieu]

It is very interesting to see the animals. Thanks for sharing for everyone to see.

[@jeffreywoods4040]

Would it be better or worse if these parakeets acted like Hamlet? “WHAT DOOO?”

[@KimSuGineKimSuGine]

As cute and charming as they are, the chances of these parakeets becoming invasive is incredibly high which could have negative consequences on wildlife and the ecosystem as they could compete for food/resources and nesting areas which could decline the numbers of the native birds

[@universeslap]

I worry a bit as a gardener, because I saw how destructive parrots can be to the fruit trees. They're beautiful for sure, but should be kept in check by increasing number of birds of prey.

[@glenncordova4027]

So far they are keeping to urban areas. Cities are more welcoming. People set out bird feeders and there are places to warm up on cold nights ie. electrical transformers and building vents.

[@klaasdeboer8106]

@@universeslap The trouble with the Peregrine Falcon is that they think they need vast territories even in the city with enormous amounts of pigeons and parakeets. There is definitely food for dozens of breeding pairs in amsterdam, but there is only a few breeding pairs.

[@krystals1431]

Sad thing is these parrots are doing better in non native countries versus country of origin because of people that are catching wild parrots bringing them into to the bird trade loss of habitat.

[@universeslap]

@@klaasdeboer8106 maybe reintroduction of other birds like owls or eagles could be possible? I don't really know much about this problem, but I can guess, that accidental poisoning of birds of prey by rat poison/poisoned rodents is big problem near human habitation. Maybe that needs to be solved first.

[@mariej6962]

The green ones are all over tropical Africa as well.

[@Montujr]

Here in india too ! They are tough specie !

[@anixes]

@@Montujr duh, they are native to India.

[@Shiva-nx1tn]

They are native to India

[@barsozuguler4300]

Probably someone tried to get rid of a pair by sending them into wild. But unlike budgies and cocktails, these breed can actually survive in the wild.

[@barsozuguler4300]

I'm at least trying to breed budgies but none of them would become an invasive species since they are stubborn to reproduce, even in captivity

[@maggieadams8600]

I know that parakeets are all over London, or so my daughter tells me!

[@SiouxieSioux]

They definitely are.!

[@KRD2001]

Interestingly there’s also a parakeet species not sure if it’s the same one that lives in the nyc and New England area which gets even colder than Germany. The population isn’t as high however

[@glenncordova4027]

15:25 here in the United States, it is the starlings that are the aggressive invaders

[@jorniehinay]

they are very expensive if you buy them in petshop here in Philippines...

[@watjejanssen7535]

buy a male and female,they breed easy and sell them back to the shop

[@adamhousden6349]

this doc should have been about the british ringnec ks, we have had them loose in the uk way before the germans

[@volentmass]

san francisco has a big pop of them

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

4000 individuals isn't a lot, in fact it's an extremely small number and those birds are definitely inbred, so as time goes on and the number increases, the damage they do to the local ecosystem will show itself, eventually. At least their sensitivity to cold will limit how many there can realistically be. Other places might not be so lucky.

[@cinageransayeh]

it's look like you have more parakeets in Cologne than any major city in India.

[@nikkuku7021]

Ahh! RID ohh yea same as when human can rid of everything what is nature, but when it comes to itself it won't rid anything its a feature...yea...same as the you do everywhere xd.

[@Testbug-dy6tj]

They have the right of migration.

[@Norm-ih2rq]

why not stay in india

[@barsozuguler4300]

How are they supposed to get rid of them. Trap them and ship them to their original country or something. But adopting would be nice too. Give everyone the same gender and it would be solved. Like 2 males for 1 person and 3 females for another person so they wouldn't reproduce while people still would have more than one

[@ahamedjassim6461]

Sadly we indians cant raise or pet this under wildlife laws

Why did she call these IRPs Lovebirds?! I would never recommend an IRP as a pet. Had one a year it was terrible.

[@jorgecanales798]

You only had it for a year? So you rehomed it when it was going through puberty Vv

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

Definitely not a top 10 parrot, however chances are it was terrible because you had no understanding of the bird, its behavior, nature and needs. Parrots actually make extremely good pets compared to 99% of the animals on this earth. They are social, emote a lot, adaptable and some of the only animals that can dance and talk. Cats are far worse in comparison and horrible for the environment.
