Spotted
The Rose-ringed Parakeet is a widely distributed and adaptable parrot, native to Africa and India, but also thriving in many urban areas globally as an introduced species. Males are known for their distinctive rose-pink neck ring.
Where to spot
Native to West and East Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Also widely established as feral populations in many cities across Europe, the Middle East, and other parts of the world, often found in parks and gardens.
How to spot
Look for its bright green plumage and long tail. Males have a pink and black neck ring. Listen for their loud, screeching calls, which are characteristic and often heard before the bird is seen.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often observed in noisy flocks flying to and from roosting sites at dawn and dusk. Resident species, observable year-round.

Rose-ringed Parakeets are highly intelligent and mimic human speech exceptionally well, making them popular pets, which has also contributed to their establishment in non-native ranges.
