Would Anyone Recognise This Bird

[emmie]

just from a description.
i don't know how to post pics so my interpretation is that this was
not a native bird. However it was about the size of a large budgerigar
mostly light green enough to seem yellow all over, and had the loudest call i have ever heard. Not much to go on but it was beautiful.

parrakeet? https://www.rspb.org.uk/our-work/our-positions-and-casework/our-positions/species/invasive-non-native-species/ring-necked-parakeets/

Possibly a parakeet

You're in London aren't you. It'll be one of the parakeets that flock around town.

there was at least three of them, more yellow than green no markings at all that i could see, the nearest i can get to it is a ring necked parakeet, it looked like a man size canary, but with a slightly bulbous head.

They are yellowy underneath and the ringed neck isn't obvious from a distance

These are the ones in Richmond park, they are a pale green.

Much better film here and a word or three from Sir David.

so likely a type of parakeet, well i never, i saw them on the branches of the tree outside the flat, but their call was louder than some of those featured.

They used to roost at Esher rugby club until someone cut the trees down.

budgies are a sort of parakeet, but parakeets are mostly quite a lot bigger. We sometimes get them dropping in on the way to or from Hampstead Heath.

[emmie]

these were bigger than budgerigars - and a nicer call

Hope you identify it, I enjoyed the videos all the same.

Shame about the Esher flock having to relocate, the club were so proud of them.

The other day I was watching one of them performing acrobatics on my miniature crab apple tree in a quest to get to the bird feeder. They use their beaks to help themselves climb along until they reach the peanuts. No other birds have touched the peanuts but the parakeets seem to make light work of them.

until someone says different i'll go with a type of parakeet, nice looking with a lovely sound.
