Field Notes

Description:

These birds have a hooked beak, a long tail, and are smaller in size compared to most parrots. Wild Rose-ringed Parakeets are green with undertones of blue that can be seen during overcast days. These parrots have yellow feathers underling their wings and tail. Both males and females look very similar; however, the male has a black ring around his neck. His ring is highlighted with turquoise, pink, and blue. Although the female may not exhibit the impressive ring of the male, many Indian Ringneck enthusiasts will argue a slight green ring is visible.

Habitat:

Seen at Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai.

Notes:

Both males and females have the ability to mimic human speech. First it listens to its surroundings, and then it copies the voice of the human speaker.
