Seen in our balcony....

a ring-necked parakeet . Isn't it cute? However,  in the Netherlands, Psittacula krameri  is also an exotic species, which means these colorful birds have been imported, probably escaped pets that have been able to establish colonies and thrive in the wild. There is always a danger with releasing "foreign" species in a new environment as (among other concerns, like the potential spread of infectious agents)  they will compete with the local species, sometimes with consequences as fatal as extinction. It seems however that they have been able to share the parks with the local, endemic (native) birds in harmony. What have you been up to?
