Spotted
The Rose-ringed Parakeet, scientifically known as Psittacula krameri, is a highly adaptable and widely distributed parrot species belonging to the family Psittaculidae. Native to parts of Africa and the Indian subcontinent, it has successfully established numerous feral populations across the globe, becoming a common sight in urban parks and gardens far from its original range. Known for its striking green plumage and distinctive calls, this species is a popular bird among enthusiasts and a noticeable presence in many international cities.
Where to spot
This highly adaptable parakeet can be observed in a variety of habitats, including urban parks, suburban gardens, agricultural lands, open woodlands, and even city centers. Look for them in areas with mature trees, as they often roost and nest in tree cavities. Due to their widespread feral populations, they can be found across Europe, parts of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and even some areas of the Americas.
How to spot
Rose-ringed Parakeets are conspicuous birds. Their presence is often first indicated by their loud, high-pitched screeching calls, which are very distinctive. They are typically seen flying rapidly in cohesive flocks, often at high altitudes, or perched conspicuously on tree branches, rooftops, and wires. Their bright green plumage makes them relatively easy to spot against foliage, especially in flight. Observing them during feeding times on fruit trees or feeders can also be productive.
When to spot
These parakeets are diurnal, most active during the early morning and late afternoon hours when they forage for food. They often gather in large, noisy communal roosts at dusk, which can be a spectacular sight. Being largely resident, they can be observed year-round in areas where they have established populations, with their activity levels peaking during the breeding season.

The Rose-ringed Parakeet is one of the most successful parrot species globally, having established thriving feral populations on every continent except Antarctica, often outcompeting native bird species for resources.
