잉꼬(앵무새과)

앵무새 과의 잉꼬는 현재 맨체스터 주변의 여러 공원 혹은 정원에서 발견됩니다. 본래 파키스탄 및 인도의 히말라야 산기슭에서 서식하던 새이므로 영국의 추운 날씨에도 잘 적응하였습니다. 이들은 처음 영국 런던에서부터 시작하여 지금은 영국 전역 곳곳에 서식합니다.

잉꼬가 어떻게 영국까지 오게 되었는지에 대해서는 ‘1950년대 영화 ‘African Queen(아프리카의 여왕)’ 촬영 중 열대지방의 느낌을 살려줄 소품으로 들여왔다가 탈출했다’, ‘지미 핸드릭스가 1960년 대에 풀어놓으면서 잉꼬의 정착 및 번식이 시작되었다’ 등 다양한 루머가 있습니다. 그러나 뜻하지 않게 시작된 잉꼬의 정착이 영국의 풍경에 예상치 못한 초록빛 아름다움을 더했습니다.

지금 여러분이 살고 있는 곳에 가기 위해 여러분 혹은 여러분의 조상은 어떤 여정을 거쳤나요?

    I first spotted parakeets in Manchester in Crowcroft Park. I have been seeing them in Heaton Mersey for a few years now. It makes me happy to hear them and to follow that flash of colour in the sky. They remind me of places I have visited around the world.

    Spotted this one not far from Manchester Museum, in Fallowfield.
