Green Birds on Underhill

[Earl Aelfheah]

It's all an inevitable part of the gentrification of ED. Give it ten years and we'll have pheasants and peacocks mincing about. The pigeons are simply being priced out of the area.

They are always eating my plum cherries!

And sparrows have practically disappeared completely. Which is very sad. I see all kinds of birds in my back garden but have to say that these days a sparrow is a very rare sight indeed. Oooh look there goes a blue tit.

Great tit

In the summer I had a mob (12-17) of sparrows that visited my bird feeders - by autumn it was down to 3-4 and now I hardly see one, although tits, a robin and nuthatches? still visit daily. I only rarely see the green parrots (they swing over the garden in a group of about 6, on occasion) and no evidence of them interacting with my regular small garden birds. Magpies are always about however.

They're parakeets not parrots.
