Bank Holiday Monday.
Sat watching 3 on my brothers garden feeders in Dane Bank, Denton, Monday afternoon. 2 more in trees in neighbouring garden. My 2 yr old son was playing football under the feeders and kept stopping to say Daddy look at the Parakeets. They didnt budge and I managed some decent images.
Shortly after Id gone, more appeared and my bro sent me an iPhone image of 8 individuals together.

Don't know if anyone can help but there's a juvenile Ring neck been sat next to some bird feeders on Jutland Street M1 2WE for a day or so trying to feed from them without much success. I've tried putting fruit out but doesn't seem interested. He doesn't look too good. Does anyone rescue them?
