Indian Ringneck Parrot

Indian Ringneck Parrot

The Indian ringneck parrot is a slender, long-tailed parakeet whose common name is widely used in aviculture. Its wild-type color is mainly green, though captive color forms can differ. Mature males typically show a dark and rose-colored neck ring, while females and young lack the same clear pattern. Flocks use calls to keep contact and feed on seeds, fruit and other plant foods. Tree cavities commonly provide nesting shelter.
