鸚鵡

在曼徹斯特多個公園和花園,不時會看見這樣的鸚鵡。牠們原本來自巴基斯坦和印度喜馬拉雅山麓,所以不難適應英國的寒冬。英國的鸚鵡最初聚居倫敦,現時遍佈全國多處。

至於牠們如何來到英國,坊間便流傳多個解釋。有人說一些鸚鵡在五十年代電影《非洲女王號》拍攝場地逃到這裡,更有人說結他手Jimi Hendrix在六十年代放生了好幾隻,然後牠們定居下來並開始繁殖!無論如何,鸚鵡將一直長留此處,為我們的景觀增添一道翠綠的風景。

你或你的祖先又乘着怎麼樣的旅程,來到你生活的地方?

    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.
