Today we are going to West London’s Kensington Gardens to visit and feed some wild but very friendly parakeets. 🦜

Parakeets are native to Africa but there are around 50,000 in Britain. Nobody really knows how this non-native birds came to the UK.

A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said: "There’s no evidence to show they have a negative impact on native species. But you should always feed birds the right type of food.”

Our secret sweet spot for parakeet bird watching is located in the heart of Kensington Gardens, just a minute walk from the Peter Pan statue. They are not hard to miss as you could hear their chirping when you get to the location.

I brought an apple 🍎 with me but feeding the birds is totally optional. Just watching the birds gives an equally joyful experience and helps with balancing the Park’s wildlife.

Hope you enjoyed this short clip, showcasing London’s friendly parakeets. Join me again next time! 🎥
