Feral parakeets in Great Britain are wild-living, non-native parakeets that are an introduced species into Great Britain.The population mainly consists of rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri), a non-migratory species of bird native to Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, with a few, small breeding populations of monk parakeets, and other occasional escaped cage birds.
Monk seals still face numerous threats, which include intentional harm by humans, marine debris entanglement, diseases such as toxoplasmosis, and loss of habitat due to climate change.
