Please note it never happened; only about 15 birders saw the bird not 500!! Read the full story if you have a few hours spare at

So many paid but few saw if http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1357270/Twitcher-charges-5-fee-500-turn-rare-bird-sitting-garden-fence.html is correct …
Surprising that no-one refound the bird in that environment.
If you convert the £5 for 10 minute fee to a per minute fee, the difference in price rate to the princess parrot fee is not so great if the PP viewers had a couple of hours with the birds.
