Identification of rose-ringed parakeet

Rose-ringed parakeets are medium-sized, long-winged and long-tailed, pale green parrots with large, bright red beaks. The central tail feathers are twice the length of the rest of the long tail, creating a graduated or attenuated shape. The long, pointed wings are also distinctive in flight. Females and immatures are entirely green apart from yellowish undertail and greyish undersides to the primaries and secondaries, creating a broad grey rear half to the underwing. Males are similar but with the addition of head markings that include a narrow black stripe curving under the cheek from the black chin, tapering to a fine point towards the nape, bordered below by a narrow, pale pink band that extends around the nape (the ‘rose-ring’), and above by a broader pale blue band across the hind-crown. rose ringed parakeet for sale

Food

Rose-ringed parakeets feed mainly on seeds and fruit in the outer canopy of trees, but will descend to cereal crops and feeding tables. A wide range of fruits, nuts, berries, seeds, nectar, flower petals, buds and other vegetable matter is taken.

Reproduction of rose-ringed parakeet

The rose-ringed parakeet is a seasonal breeder and is monogamous. This means there is one female that mates with one male. In this species, the female actually attracts the male and initiates the mating. She does this by rubbing her head against the males head repeatedly. After this, the mating process only lasts for a few minutes.

• Care:

  Its optimal for a Ringneck Parrot to have very large cage, for enough space to play. Stainless Steel or Powder Coated cages are good. Filled Food & Water bowls are needed 24/7 for the bird to stay healthy and hydrated. Toys are a must and treats for the bird to be happy. Exercise is needed for 2-3 hours a day, let the bird spread its wings and flap its wings to exercise wing muscles. Let the bird walk and climb to exercise legs and feet, also let the bird chew on toys to work on jaw muscles. rose ringed parakeet for sale, indian ringneck parrot price
