Some very good shots. I would have left out number 7 as it echoes number 1 which is a better image. 4 and 5 are maybe the weakest in subject-composition.
I'm nit picking though, there's not a bad picture here, and of course personal preference comes into it.

I don't have a problem with the colours just the sharpening as stated earlier. In general terms, I think if a picure looks 'sharper' than we normally see it looks unnatural and that quality can be a distraction. There's a bit of an obsession with sharpness sometimes (not aimed at you in particular I should add).But is the processing excessive ? What do others think ..... I did aim for a natural approach.....

I live near Crystal Palace and saw a flock of about 20 the other day. Funny thing is on another occasion I heard what I thought was a seagull but looking up it was parakeet. The seagulls come further in land during warm weather and this one had learnt to mimic them.On my way to work (from Wimbledon) I always see a couple of flocks of parakeets in the morning and usually some on the way home.

They are all good shots particularly 3 & 7, but they all (to me) look slightly over sharpened.

Stan, I think pentax plus members see less adds. I see more if I browse without logging in.

Good set. 4 and 6 are my favourites.

Just out of interest, is it some sort of private estate or do people own individual properties as in a regular town.
