Invasion of the Parakeets

Ring-necked parakeets are among Britain's most divisive birds, loved for their beauty and blamed for harming native wildlife. Chris Packham follows a family of parakeets as they grow. He investigates claims that they steal nesting sites and damage crops, and asks whether these charismatic newcomers are ecological villains or unfairly targeted outsiders?

Invasion of the Parakeets airs on Channel 4 HD at 8:00 PM, Monday 15 June. (Subtitles, new, audio description.)
