Telegraph] 25 Jul 2008--A plague of parakeets have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to a church - after pecking away at the wooden spire.

Congregation members revealed this week that the brightly-coloured vandals had started nesting in the 150-year-old spire of St John the Evangelist, Shirley, which has been blighted by hundreds of beak-sized holes.

Church spokesman Bernard Maguire, 67, said: "They showed up last winter, and have been pecking away ever since.

Perhaps God is using the parakeets to tell us something.
