The Kingston parakeets, also known as the Twickenham parakeets, are feral rose-ringed parakeets (''Psittacula krameri'') that live in the suburbs around Kingston and Twickenham, South West London, England, numbering at least 6,000, with some estimates as high as 50,000 individuals. The origins of the flocks are subject to speculation. == Origin of the flocks == How the parakeets came to be living wild in England is not known. Consistent with the dates of their first widespread photography is that a pair of, or probably more, breeding parakeets escaped or were released in the mid-1990s. More specific introduction theories have been published such as that: *parakeets escaped from the branch of Ealing Studios used for the filming of ''The African Queen'' — Isleworth Studios — in 1951. *parakeets escaped from an aviary during a 1987 hurricane *a pair were released by Jimi Hendrix in Carnaby Street, London, in the 1960s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingston parakeets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
