Rose-ringed Parakeets, also known as ring-necked parakeets, are medium-sized parrots with a sleek, slender build and long, tapering tails. Their feather coat is predominantly bright green in the wild, but in captivity can vary from yellow to blue to white. Adult males are distinguished by a black and rose-colored ring around their neck, while females and juveniles lack this prominent collar or display a faint version of it. Their beaks are powerful and reddish-orange, designed for cracking seeds and fruits, and they have zygodactyl feet (2 toes point forward one points backward) for skilled climbing and manipulation of food. In behavior, ring-necked parakeets are highly social, vocal, and adaptable. They often gather in large, noisy flocks, particularly in urban and agricultural areas where food is abundant. Known for their intelligence, these birds are capable of learning simple human speech in captivity and demonstrate complex problem-solving behaviors. Breeding typically aligns with the dry season, depending on geographic location. They nest in tree cavities, walls, or man-made structures. The female lays 3 to 6 eggs and incubates them for about 21 to 24 days, during which the male provides food. After hatching, both parents help rear the chicks, which fledge at around 6 to 7 weeks.
