Who's a pretty boy then? Colourful parakeet pictured peering into speed camera on busy motorway





Ring-necked parakeet enjoying Yew-berries in a Düsseldorf park. Ulrich von PoblotzkiDUSSELDORF — The air is ice cold without a hint of wind. As night falls over Düsseldorf, they come flocking from all directions: thousands of ring-necked parakeets. They land on the plane trees that line the luxury Königsallee shopping street. Men in expensive suits and women in fur coats look up in amazement. A little girl tugs at her mother’s sleeve and says, “Mommy, they’re back.”
An avid bird lover in Chennai has taken on the task of feeding hundreds of parrots who visit him in the morning and evening despite the hustle and bustle of city life.
An art work portraying a parakeet was created by the students of CMS Matriculation Higher Secondary School in the city on Wednesday as part of the 'born to fly' initiative of the Animal Rescuers, an animal welfare organisation. A total of ten parakeets that were rescued and nurtured by Animal Rescuers, an animal welfare organisation, were released into the wild here on Wednesday.
