Indian Ringneck Parakeet

Semi-desert, open woodland, forest edges, farmland, and urban parks across the Indian subcontinent and parts of Africa. A highly adaptable species that has established feral populations across Europe, the Middle East, and North America.

A slender, elegant bird with a long graduated tail that makes up nearly half its total length. Wild birds are bright green with a red beak. Mature males display the species signature three-part neck ring in black, rose-pink, and teal. Females lack the ring or show only a faint shadow. Captive mutations are extensive.

Mutations include Blue, Yellow, White, Albino, Lutino, Cobalt, Violet, Grey, and Pied among many others.
