  1. Please enjoy this extremely silly Parakeet/Organic Chemistry joke I just came up with and made all by myself.

  2. "Parakeets have been spotted in Britain for far longer than most people realise. Newspaper reports document sightings as early as the 1800s"

    What?!

  3. #News: #Parakeets make friends just like us! 🧐🦜 Study shows they "test the waters" with strangers to build trust slowly and avoid drama. Even #birds know that good friendships take time! 💚🐦 #Animals #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetect.bsky.social sciencedaily.com/releases/2025

  4. @jastrow Unfortunately the article isn't open access. I wonder how they distinguished all those individuals. Not so easy in these smaller ring necked parakeets. Manually feeding the larger ones, the Alexander #parakeets here in #Amsterdam I can distinguish quite a number individually due to bill markings etc.. (Far) less then 10% is right footed!

  6. concerns re ring-necked #parakeets in the UK? - I seem to recall that in Germany their spread remained limited to cities favourable climate such as the Rhine valley (Cologne, Dusseldorf). Hence not a threat to the "natural" ecosystems?

  7. Posh Brits looking for something new to kill is it?
    The Badger cull was shown to be a cruel waste of time, but then that's what excites the Posh, isn't it?

  8. I never know what to do for my parakeets to make their holiday special. This year I took all those short ends of millet that fall to the bottom of the bag and hardly seem worth saving, stuffed them into two little Christmas stockings and hung them inside their home. They're having a great time picking the millet out of the stockings and switching back and forth deciding who gets which stocking. Looks like that's a winner. #birds #parakeets #Christmas
