Rose-ringed parakeet is native to India. Widespread, mainly found in the woodland, parks, orchard, urban-environment and cultivation farms. They are sexually dimorphic with the males sporting a red and black neck ring. They feed on grains, fruits, vegetables, buds, berries etc and are considered pests for agricultural crops. They use shared roost all through the year. They are known to live up to 34years in captivity. They are monogamous and breed during the months of December and January. They are secondary cavity nesting birds, that re-use the already established cavities of wood peckers, tits, nutaches, starlings and owls. Generally, the nest is at a height of 6M from the ground while this nest was merely 2M from the ground! They often widen the nests to accommodate nearly 7 eggs. Large trunk of trees with surrounding shrub and tree cover appear to be their favourite nesting conditions. The female attracts the male and rubs its neck against the neck of the male repeatedly, to initiate the mating. The hatchlings are altricial and fully depend on the mother for feeding. Both the parents take care of the young. They have a high success rate with high juvenile survival.
