In Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens there are thousands of wild yellow and green parakeets. There is a rumour that legendary rocker Jimi Hendrix, when living in a flat in Mayfair in the 60s, released two rose-ringed parakeets, the very breed that now roam wild in the park. These birds are non-migratory, so it is believed the London ones originated from Hendrix's pets. If you bring an apple with you, the parakeets will literally eat out of your hand.
