That's because they aren't. In Northern Europe parakeets cannot
survive outside of urban environments.


Parakeets are the third or fourth most numerous species on Hampstead
Heath. Whilst, admittedly, the Heath is entirely enclosed within London,
it is really quite a large non-urban environment, amounting to 790
acres of woods and grasslands.


I believe they were first seen in the park at Hampton Court. Quite a
novelty some 40 years ago. And spread outwards from there.
