@@theeutecticpoint yeah they are ring-necked parakeets, there have been feral parakeets living in parts of London since as early as the 1830s but most are descendants of what are known as the "Kingston Parakeets" who established a sizable colony in Richmond Park in Kingston-Upon-Thames and then spread through South West London up into the rest of London throughout the 20th Century. There's a lot of urban legends about them being Jimi Hendrix's escaped pets or other such stories, but almost all of the stories come after the first known sightings of birds in the Royal Parks. It's a combo of escaped pets and birds stowed away on cargo ships, and for some reason the ring-necked parakeet is an invasive species that really thrives here.

The green birds are ring necked parakeets. They live wild all over London. Rumour has it that they escaped from the set of "The African Queen" when it was filmed in London back in the day. But whatever, they're now common in the London parks and green spaces.

@@Wintersnow1212 There is an urban legend that they escaped from the film set of "The African Queen" in the 1950s and created a breeding population. Not sure how true that is though

I believe that they were a fad pet for a while many years ago and when people got fed up of looking after them they set them free. They've bred like crazy and are all over the parks in central London.

This makes me feel at peace with the world.

Thank you Grey, wonderful. The wonder one can feel for the world around us is a beautiful thing to capture and share. I must also commend you on a great choice of music for this video!

It's great grey weather and a great grey city. I have never thought London could be so beautiful.

Grey, this was really cool. As someone who has never traveled to London, thanks for the mini tour!

Central London is a great touristy area. Even as a local from the outskirts (South-west, near Heathrow), when I head into Central to look around it's great. Normally in December I'd have gone with my parents to look at the Christmas lights and the tree in Trafalgar Square that we get given every year from Norway. Best thing to do though is to go to some of the really touristy areas, but dive off down a side street somewhere. You never know what you'll find. Explore the less travelled areas, and you'll see a whole different side to London.

That's part of the wonder of this video. I'll never experience a snow day from the top of The Shard, but Grey brings that experience right to us.

The music ties everything together perfectly. Well done, Mr. Grey. I love it.

Love the snow so much, could listen to Grey talk about it all day

As someone who lives in a place that's hot most of the year and never sees snow, this was beautiful. Thank you for this experince, Grey. Much appreciated :)

In Canada we don't have snow days because we wouldn't have any school for 4 months of the year.

Indeed: the closest we had to them where I live were in 2007 and 2020, when blizzards made it difficult to go anywhere. London honestly looks like a typical Canadian city at the start of winter.

Canada doesn't get time off from snow; snow gets time off from Canada.

I haven't seen on of these videos with the green CGP Grey logo in a while, I'm excited!

As someone who lives in Northern New England, and this weather is quite typical and normally a lot colder and snowier. It’s quite nice seeing how people treat the once and a year snow fall. Thank you Grey.

his joy is infectious and makes me want to be happy more.

Honestly, I love this as a little change of pace from your usual videos. Your informative videos are great, But I'm so glad you consistently find ways to mix it up, which is why i have been subscribed since 2014

I adore how just, adorable and sweet this whole thing is

I was just about to board my flight at Heathrow in December 2010 when the skies opened up. I had 4 solid days of snow exploration before Heathrow reopened. The snow just stayed and stayed. Kew Gardens was the best! With nearly zero tourists around I got to talk to the researchers there... and got to ask why the London plane trees look so much like American sycamores... but monstrous gigantic ones. The London Plane tree is an artificial hybrid between an American sycamore and a related Chinese tree!

In my entire time on this platform I have liked about 30 videos, this one is going to join their ranks.

"Snow... this is amazing!" Canadian me: *disinterested yawn.* "I need to keep trekking to Barad Dur." LoTR me: "OMG! That is freaking AMAZING!!!! SHOW ME MORE!" (seriously, the view was really cool) More blog-y type things, please?
