Psittaculidae — Old World Parrots

Rose-ringed Parakeet, Psittacula krameri, is a parrot of the Psittaculidae family that breeds across Africa and from Pakistan to Myanmar. It was described by Scopoli in 1769. Its native range is split between western, central and eastern Africa and the Oriental Region. The species is also known as the ring-necked parakeet and the Indian Ringneck. It has become established in many other parts of the world after birds escaped from the pet trade and formed new populations. It is one of the parrot species that has adapted to disturbed places and has persisted through urban growth and forest loss.
