The parakeets that live round and about Ciutadella Park in Barcelona are opportunists. They know that all they have to do is hang around tourists, looking winsome, and the next meal will appear. If they’re lucky, maybe specially purchased nuts and seeds from equally opportunist street vendors. Otherwise, croissant crumbs and biscuits. They don’t seem fussy.
For Monday Portrait.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Not just the parakeets, birds everywhere seem to have cottoned on where to score.

Wow! Great close ups. My daughter gets parakeets in her garden, but hidden in the trees.

And very winsome he looks too. A nice change from pigeons.

I change from pigeons, but I still don’t like these birds either…… Not too nice to our resident small birds

Pretty. I’m sure they stand out in the park. I wonder if the parakeets can be found in other parts of Barcelona, or if the Park is an anomaly. Hope you’re enjoying your time with your grands.
