Tropical parrots in Milan's parks, the most beautiful photos

In the Villa Reale park and in the gardens of city apartment blocks, parakeets move in flocks and breed easily.

The first specimens appeared a few years ago. With the passage of time, collared parakeets have reproduced and colonised the green areas of Milan. 

Hundreds of birds typical of Asian and African forests flutter in Sempione Park, at Idroscalo and even in Largo Cairoli, where they have been immortalised snacking on persimmons.
