I was having a stroll and heard this weird crackling noise. Took me a moment to realize that it’s coming from the tree above me. I looked up and didn’t see anything at first, because of the bad light. And then I saw it: About 10 parrots (alexandrine parakeets or rose-ringed parakeets) were sitting up there, heaving a feast. 😅

(Video isn’t great, because this is my smartphone and the light was bad.)

(#vipj3ea) @movq@www.uninformativ.de How sweet! :-) I find it super interesting that they’re kinda common around your area: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandersittich#Verbreitung We don’t have them here.

(#vipj3ea) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh yeah, there’s lots of them here. Even in winter when it’s freezing outside. I’m always baffled to see parrots in the snow … feels like a paradox. 🥴
