Sorry: the images on this
page may take a while to load, please be patient. What you get is
a series showing how a Ring-necked Parakeet seems to have worked out or
learned how to get food from a squirrel-proof bird feeder in a garden just
adjacent to Norwood Grove. The entire process took a couple of hours, but
having worked it out the same bird came back later for more food. Initially
there was another parakeet watching what was going on but that bird wandered
off. It was a windy Sunday on 11th. February 2001, a lot of birds
feed in this garden and that may have been what attracted the parakeets
in the first place, a great spotted woodpecker uses a similar technique
to get to the food. Inside the squirrel-proof feeder is a CJ
Wild birdfood fat bar (peanut cake with seeds variety).
