A while back somebody posted on here about not seeing their regular flock of parakeets in their garden. As the parakeets visiting my own garden regularly went missing in Spring, I confidently predicted that they'd return. "They're simply feeding off emerging buds somewhere else" But maybe that's the problem. Reading up on them there are/were big roosts in Richmond Park. However Richmond Park probably doesn't supply a tenth of the variety of buds that say does Kew Gardens. And if I were a plantsman at Kew I'd probably be heartbroken to see a rare bush or tree being systematically stripped of its buds by flocks of parakeets. Not that I'm saying this is what has happened. But of there were in fact a cull of parakeets in Kew Gardens, for perfectly understandable reasons, and with all necessary permissions from the relevant authorities if such are required, then I doubt that fact would be widely publicised, if at all. Obviously this would be welcome news for those people who define themselves by the things they most hate in life - and are keen to share that hatred with all and sundry. But to me at least it would be a shame to never again see these regular visitors michael adams
