Rose-ringed Parakeet

Rose-ringed Parakeets are loud birds who travel in groups. They are native to Asia and Africa, but there is a large introduced population in many cities in Europe, including Paris. You can see and hear a lot of them flying around the Jardin des Plantes. They were first seen in London in 1969, and an urban myth says that Jimi Hendrix released a pair called Adam and Eve that year to add psychedelic color to the city.
