minus-squareOurTragicUniverse@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoEscaped pets mostly but some belong to zoos and are tagged and wander around. We also have a population of parrots in London that are descended from escaped pets too.

Not sure if they’re still there though, as they kept getting hit by cars :-(
