Information on Parakeets

Parakeets are a relatively new pest species to the UK, being added to the pest list in 2010 by Natural England. There are two species of parakeets present in the UK, these are:

  • Parakeet Pest Control management London kentRing-neck parakeets (Psittacula krameri) – Ring-neck parakeets are large, long tailed birds with bright green plumage, a pink beak and a distinguishing black ring around their neck and face.
  • Monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) – Monk parakeets are often mistaken for ring-neck parakeets as they are similar in size with a similar green plumage, however, they can be identified by their yellowish chest and patch on the crown of their head.

Parakeets are a non-native invasive species within the UK, often out competing the native birds which has led to an exponential growth in their population across London and the south east. Both parakeet species can be found in large flocks holding often hundreds of birds and can be a noise nuisance due to their very distinctive calls. The ring-neck parakeets are tropical birds which are believed to originate from Africa and the Himalayas, there is a lot of speculation of how these parakeets came to be released into the wild. Monk parakeets originated from South America and are also believed to have been bred in captivity before being released into the UK.

Parakeet Environmental Impact & Risks

Both species of parakeets are known to be able to out compete the UK native bird species, for resources such as shelter, food and breeding sites. Non-native species can have a detrimental effect on both the native flora and fauna, therefore all non-native species are added to the pest list, to protect the flora and fauna native to the UK. Parakeets can wreak havoc in both urban and rural environments, due to the large numbers contained in flocks, they could decimate local park flora and woodland, as well as, agricultural arable land. These birds can also nest in the fabric of buildings, causing significant damage to properties. The management of both species of parakeets is designed to regulate the populations of the parakeets in the UK, whilst reducing the damage they cause and controlling the future spread of the species across of the UK.
