National garden bird count

This video is about a young ring-necked parakeet in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam, begging for food from its parent.

This weekend is national garden bird count in the Netherlands.

People count for half an hour which birds they see from the windows of their homes.

As for me, I saw today one ring-necked parakeet, one magpie, one jackdaw, and one carrion crow.

Not so many birds. Because birds do not need to come close to houses because of mild winter weather?
