Dutch escapee Alexandrine parakeets


Alexandrine parakeets in Amsterdam

Ring-necked parakeets, originally escapees from cages, are now quite common at some places in the Netherlands.

Recently, another escapee parakeet species was recorded in Amsterdam.

In the local Oosterpark, feral Alexandrine parakeets live.

They are bigger than ring-necked parakeets.

The photo is edited to show the birds in the same picture as the Amsterdam city biologist. But it is not fake.
