Rose-ringed Parakeet

Psittacula krameri

Rose-ringed Parakeet

“ I grew up with two different parakeets - one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years - so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it's an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers ”

– Jim Parsons

Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) also known as the Ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot has disjunct native ranges in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where feral populations have established themselves and are bred for the exotic pet trade.

Etymology

The genus name Psittacula is a diminutive of Latin psittacus, "parrot".

Physical Appearance

The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red and black neck ring, and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings. Both sexes have a distinctive green color in the wild, and captive bred ringnecks have multiple color mutations which include turquoise, cinnamon, olive, white, blue, violet, grey and yellow.

Abilities

Captive or wild individuals can be taught to speak both males and females.

Ecology

Rose-ringed parakeets usually feed on buds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries, and seeds; wild individuals will regularly visit gardens and other locations near human habitation, taking food from bird feeders. Oils, salts, chocolate, alcohol, and other preservatives should be avoided and also fly several miles to forage.


The predators of rose-ringed parakeets are hawks, falcons, snakes, mongooses, wolves, cats, catfishes and more.

Behavior

 It goes about it's business peacefully and fly away, but if you attack it from your attacks.

Distribution and Habitat

This is a very common and widespread bird species. Originates from the southern Indian subcontinent to western Africa in Guinea, Senegal, and southern Mauritania. The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common to abundant throughout its natural and introduced range.


They are African and Indian origin. In the Philippines, pet birds (Psittacula krameri manillensis) that had escaped sometime in the 1990s had managed to live independently and even reproduce. Because of what has happened all around the world, Rose-Ringed Parakeet populations are now feral. During the summer, this bird frequented District 4 frequently. They frequently fly around St. James Church and are also seen on the golf field.
