That Moment Normally these parakeets are very skittish but this guy stuck around and allowed me to get pretty close. I love the way he stares straight through the lens.

  1. So strange that such-exotic looking birds can be found in Western Europe. Nice spotting! Posted 11 years ago

The rose-ringed parakeet is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where feral populations have established themselves and are bred for the exotic pet trade.
