Fantastic looking birds,they'd definately add a tropical feel to any garden.

I have a colony of parrots living in the wood next to me. The local legend is that a pair escaped some years back and have bred. They have survived here for the last 5 years i know of but we haven't had a bad winter in that timeframe. It is good to see and hear them though,still a very rare site in the UK.
