The London Parakeet Mystery

Brightly coloured ring-necked parakeets might now be a familiar sight in the London sky, but that wasn't always the case.

Join Ranger Rosie Holdsworth and Johnathan Miller-McCall as we track down these acid-green birds and understand how they got here, and why they're thriving.
