As a new citizen (neozoon) who was able to build up holdings of captive refugees, he is increasingly to be found in urban areas of the northern Mediterranean countries as a cultural successor. Alexander the Great brought him from Asia to Greece more than 2300 years ago, hence the name "Alexander Parakeet"
