The parakeets have been regulars in the garden since they reappeared in November. They are not very agile on the feeders but climb around carefully using the beak as an extra foot.
They like peanuts and sunflower seeds and will also go on the new mesh seed feeder.
Generally there are one or two at a time but the most I have seen together is six. I managed to get five in one photo.
Another time they were in the top of the trees just above the house. I went out to see what all the noise was about and found they were scolding a sparrowhawk sitting in the next tree. Here's a short clip of the noise.
