Spotted
The Himalayan Parakeet is a beautiful parrot species found across the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its green plumage, a blue-grey head, and a distinctive maroon patch on its wings.
Where to spot
Inhabits montane forests, cultivated areas, and open woodlands in the Himalayas, from Pakistan eastward to parts of Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Look for its overall green body with a blue-grey head and the maroon patch on the wing. Listen for its loud, ringing calls that distinguish it from other parakeet species in its range.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen in flocks. Best observed in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging or flying to roosts.

Unlike some parrot species that prefer low altitudes, the Himalayan Parakeet can be found at surprisingly high elevations, adapting to cooler montane forest environments.
