Yes! Such a strange site especially midwinter with snow on the ground (and branches) to see a flock of bright green parakeets flash by is an incredibly odd sight! The urban legends surrounding these birds is almost as exotic! With rumors that they are from those that escaped Pinewood Studios during the filming of The African Queen in the 50s, and others stating that they hail from a pair released by Jimi Hendrix in London in the 60s as a gesture of peace!
