The Indian Ringneck Parakeet has been a long time favorite for bird lovers!
They are classified as a parakeet having long tail and about 16" inches in length and up to 7 of these inches can be tail feather alone. The life span is about 25-30 years in wild.
Indian Ringnecks are native to Asia and Africa originated from India, Pakistan, Ceylon and Indonesia. They can be seen in the forests or arid environments. Wild Indian Ringnecks are green featuring a red beak. Beautiful blue, white, yellow and pied mutations have been bred in captivity.Males have a striking black ring with pink and pale blue outer rings while
Females lack the facial and collar bands although some have rings but they are generally very pale and hard to see. Immature birds lack the black ring, pink collar, or blue tint on the back of the head. Juveniles also have a coral pink beak with a pale tip. The young reach their adult plumage after their second full molt - at about 3 years of age.These birds are believed to cause major damage to crops; however, little evidence has been published to prove this accusation. Rose-Ringed Parrots can be seen in rural areas feeding from bird feeders or relaxing in parks.
The Ringneck is highly intelligent and does make a good pet. They can be taught to speak, whistle, perform tricks and mimic other sounds. They learn concepts quickly and love to show off. Along with being intelligent, they are great at talking.
Indian Ringnecks have stable personalities and can cope with minimal attention during busy times, this does not mean they are content alone however, and are great companions. These birds have a reputation of being difficult to keep.Many people believe that males are more friendly and learn to talk more readily than females, but there is no real truth behind these statements.
