Parakeets

Arkady · September 2018

Just saw two on Mount View Road. I don't think I've seen them up in this part of town before.

They've been on the Parkland Walk for a year or two. I think they originally came along the railway embankments from the Heath, via Gospel Oak. I saw dozens on the Heath yesterday, they're still a striking sight.

Occasionally see and hear them in or around our garden in Moray Rd but the magpies seem to chase them off.

A huge number live locally. For a while they had a colony in the fir tree at the FPR end of Ossian Rd by the new house.

Hi

I'm a journalist working on the local area. Has anyone got more information on these parakeets? Could make an interesting story. I'm happy to speak over the phone.

Not sure how much of a story it would be given that they are literally everywhere in London.

oh my mistake! Thought there could be an interesting angle there but perhaps not.

aliceh88 · September 2018

on that note, do you have any local concerns or news that you would want to talk about? I'm covering Tollington Ward so the area along and by Stroud Green Road.

Homeless people under the bridge, parking, coffee are the most likely. Have a look what people are discussing here.

Homelesness; dumping, littering, and the lack of street-cleaning; adults cycling on the pavement, violent crime, lack of policing, diminishing council services (on the Haringey side)… the list is endless, but starts with the most obvious few, which are somewhat predictable.

Thank you so much, that's a really useful starting point. I've had a walk round but in order to gain a better idea of what's affecting residents this is really helpful. Is the lack of street cleaning a big problem in the area / something the council is not doing enough of? I'm happy to have a chat over the phone if easier.

miss annie · September 2018

If you put street cleaning in the search bar you'll see all the responses.

Howdy, Stranger!
