I wouldn't have minded seeing the priannas in a tank. I think it's usually pretty busy, I don't think I have ever been when it's been quiet

Saw (and heard!!) my first Geordie parakeets in Churchill Playing Fields, Monkseaton a couple of Christmases ago.
I remember them being a novelty in London 15yrs ago but it seems they’re everywhere now!
