I am currently on holidays in spain and there were a lot of parakeets around, also tons of collared doves who i'd guess outnumber the feral pidgeons there. Pretty cool

Today while cycling i saw a flamboyant hoopoe, which i recognized because i saw it on here. I was hyped. This is my first time somewhat far away from home since i started watching birds and it's amazing to see what's going on here. The birds are going off!

I was in Kauai recently. I go there once a year if I can, and I've read about invasive parakeets being an issue there, but never seen any. One night on my last trip I was at the beach, and a straight up swarm flew over. I'm talking about sky filled with birds, and they go back as far as the eye can see. It was a crazy sight to see.
