# Event Details - **Event Name**: NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am – Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 12:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Come walk and talk parakeets! Come walk and talk parakeets! Traverse through the City and uncover 2,000 years of parakeet and urban ecology.About this EventThis walk will challenge ideas of “belonging” and what is “natural” through the travails of the Parakeet and our built environment. Parakeets are not a naturally occurring species in the British Isles, but ‘British Nature’ is not something that has occurred naturally. These birds dwell within human-influenced habitats – landscapes created through millennia of human manipulation. By creating parks and gardens, forests and farmland, successive generations living on the British Isles have rendered its ‘nature’ artificial. What counts as natural, or native, depends on when you start the story.This walk will shift the goalposts of what counts as “nature”, exploring the ways that human actions have remade urban ecologies. Through traversing the city we will explore different chapters of human:parakeet entanglement, from Romans in Britain and the oldest known drawing of a Parakeet in Britain (Lime Street) to the globalisation of capitalism and the Parakeets who bore witness to empire (Lloyds Building). Across this we will also explore the religious, moral and poetical lives of Parakeets, their association with the saints (St Pauls) and their contemporary status as a “pest”.Through the walk you will become a paracologist – a new emergent discipline that seeks to move beyond outdated ideas of nature, and forge new attitudes to living-with our fine feathered friends.Please note that this walk is about parakeets, and they may join us, they may not - they are their own people and decide what they want to do! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/nla-walking-tour-urban-ecology-and-parakeets/100001977711490306 - **Event Categories**: contests, art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 14, max: 18, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: NLA - The London Centre - **lat**: 51.5160694 - **long**: -0.0929242 - **full address**: NLA - The London Centre, 3 Aldermanbury, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/5c3c48546f833ed760f04c55697581dbadcb222ac2cca99d43a0d5b041468a63-rimg-w1200-h801-dc141318-gmir.jpg?v=1771343536 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets being held? - **A:** NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 10:30 am to Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 12:30 pm at NLA - The London Centre, 3 Aldermanbury, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets? - **A:** Ticket prices for NLA Walking Tour: Urban Ecology and Parakeets range from GBP 14 to GBP 18 depending on the ticket type.
