Finsch's Parakeet

Psittacula finschii

Finsch's Parakeet (Psittacula finschii) is a small to medium-sized parrot species native to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. These parakeets are known for their vibrant plumage, with a predominantly green body and a distinctive red patch on their shoulders. They inhabit tropical and subtropical moist lowland forests, often found in dense canopies and coastal areas. Finsch's Parakeets are social birds, typically seen in small flocks or pairs. They feed on a variety of fruits, seeds, and blossoms. While their population status is not well-documented, habitat loss and potential trapping for the pet trade are considered threats to their survival.
