The baffle has solved the squirrel problem and they are welcome to the thousands of sweet chestnuts and acorns on the ground. These bloody parakeets are thugs as are the wood pigeons and magpies that hoover up what the parakeets drop. All the "decent " birds don't get a look in.

This seems to suggest the parakeets might not be able to survive in the U.K. without people feeding them (indirectly).

Can't you just arrest them or something?
You might have to cook up some charges, it won't be as easy as with woodpeckers and their massive rap sheets.

Move to the north..?
We get them all the time on our window feeder and they are noisy fuckers. I did try something with a smaller entry hole but they managed to hang on the side and get the food - now I just put more food out. I still get lots of tits, finches and robins - they seem to have a rota worked out between themselves.
I suppose something that tilts or moves with weight might work but I've never seen one for sale (not that I spent much time looking). So my suggestion is get used to it unfortunately - at least they aren't squirrels.
