Apparently England has an increasingly large parrot population. Burgeoning Budgies so to speak. (I should have resisted, shouldn’t I?)

The number of wild parrots living in England is rising at 30% per year, says an Oxford University research project.

Parks and gardens in the leafy London suburbs have been adopted as a preferred habitat by birds that are native to southern Asia.
…
There have been reports that there could now be 20,000 wild parrots, including parakeets, living in England, with the largest concentration around London and the South East.

I would never, never, never have guessed England to become home to wild parrots.

It makes me imagine a strange future where explorers adventure over to England, long abandoned for whatever reason, and discover it to be filled with wild parrots.

Imagine trying to explain how they evolved there.
