Parrots in the wild

Out for a drive tonight when we came across 4 parrots sitting in a tree in the town of Kirkby Stephen. Not every day you come across parrots in a tree in the north of England. This is the only one I managed to get a picture of the others were hidden too much by the tree.

Lovely capture, Shirley!

There's always been parrots at that place, he keeps a lot of them. He's a blue and gold maccaw...

Great catch. I thought they live further in the South. England, that surprises me.

@dawnbez thank you for correcting me on the type of bird Dawn. Yes they have been 'macaws' there for many years but it is still always a surprise to see them flying free at first glance. @bruni I don't know of anywhere else they fly free. around here. It is just one person who keeps them and allows them to fly free in this town.

Lovely capture. We have wild parakeets living in my town in the Netherlands. They have adapted to the climate here.

I had no idea parrots lived there. Great shot!
