He said smaller ears...Hares have bigger ears, and are much more Rabbit shaped, that animal is not.

There are loads of imported wild animals in the UK, just like rabbits were imported to Oz.

Rabbits are immigrants to the UK too.

There is a tree opposit my parents house where a whole flock of parakeets live in Cliffsend. The owner of the tree always has food out for them and they've stayed there for years.

The Romans brought them over if I remember correctly, they farmed them but I guess they got loose/ran wild after the Romans left

Can't recall specifically could have been the Romans, could have been up to the 11th Cenutuary.
