The Australian ringneck is a medium sized parrot that averages about 11 inches (33 cm) in length. The coloration of these birds vary, but the basic color is green with a yellow ring around the back of the neck. The tail and wings are a mix of blue and green. Australian ringnecks spend the morning and late afternoon looking for food. They feed mainly on the ground. They eat fruit, grain, insects, larvae, seeds, and nectar.
