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.
