    • Jimi Hendrix - LONDON - JULY 23: Parakeets feed from a bird feeder in a domestic back garden in Charshalton Beeches on July 23, 2009 in London, England. Around 90% of the UK's population of wild parakeets are believed to live in the London area. It is feared that the parakeets, which nest in holes and crevices in trees, may displace British species such as woodpeckers and starlings. A common theory on how parakeets started to breed in the in the UK is that a flock escaped from Shepperton studios in Surrey during the filming of the Humphrey Bogart movie The African Queen in 1951. Another theory suggests that a pair were released by Jimi Hendrix in Carnaby Street in the Sixties.
