Exotic bird- have you lost one?

Recommended Posts

just been on norwood road at junction with fairbank road. first i heard a magpie squawking which is unusual in itself at this time of night. then a very loud calling from something much more exotic. only ever heard this noise coming from bird cages. sounds like an escaped pet. is it yours?

Most probably an errant Hillsborough Tree Penguin larking about with a balloon full of helium.

It's our lass. She's exotic and tends to gob off a lot.

if the bird in question was bright green with a long green tail and a red beak, it is more than likely a wild Indian Ringnecked parakeet - pet birds that have either escaped or been let loose at some stage are now becoming well established and breeding in the wild. Originally they were prevalent in the south but they're becoming more hardy and we've had reports of them being seen in and around Sheffield.

There is a cockatiel missing, listed in lost and found section - not sure they squark that loud but with a magpie after it you never know!
