Had been on a trip to the Eastern Ghats in the bordering state of Tamil Nadu, at a town and hill station called Yercaud in Salem District. This is the first time I was visiting the Eastern Ghats. It was there in our resorts garden that I clicked this gorgeous Parakeet. This is a species of Parakeet in the family Psittacidae. that is endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. Found in flocks, the males having a pinkish purple head and the females, a grey head. It is a bird of forest and open woodland, and even gardens and are found from the foothills of the Himalayas south to Sri Lanka. It is a gregarious and noisy species that feeds on grains, fruits, the fleshy petals of flowers and also sometimes known to raid agricultural fields and orchards.
I love these little parakeets but don't get to see one very often. They are the UK's only naturalised parrot and are numerous in London - this one taken at Kew on Thursday.

The sun parakeet or sun conure (Aratinga solstitialis) is a medium-sized brightly colored parrot native to northeastern South America. The adult male and female are similar in appearance, with predominantly golden-yellow plumage and orange-flushed underparts and face.
Sun conures are very social birds, typically living in flocks. They form monogamous pairs for reproduction and nest in palm cavities in the tropics. This species is currently threatened by loss of habitat and trapping for plumage or the pet trade. Sun conures are now listed as endangered by the IUCN.

The Nanday parakeet (Aratinga nenday), also known as the black-hooded parakeet or Nanday conure, is a medium-small, mostly green parrot native to central South America. Known for its social nature and distinctive black facial mask, it is a popular but very loud and high-energy pet.
Physical Description:
The Nanday parakeet is about 11 to 12 inches (27–30 cm) long and weighs around 5 ounces (140 g).
Head:
Its most prominent feature is a black facial mask and beak.
Body:
The body is mostly bright green, with a bluish-green upper chest.
Wings and Tail:
It has black trailing flight feathers on its wings, a long tail edged in blue, and a touch of red on its thighs (upper legs).
Gender:
Males and females look alike (monomorphic), requiring a DNA test for sex determination.
Habitat and Distribution:
The species is native to a region of South America encompassing parts of southeast Bolivia, southwest Brazil, central Paraguay, and northern Argentina, particularly the Pantanal wetlands. They prefer open habitats such as savannas, pastures, and forest clearings.
Due to the pet trade, escaped or released birds have established self-sustaining feral populations in several parts of the United States, including Florida, California, and Texas, where they thrive in suburban environments. In many areas, they are considered an invasive species, as they compete with native birds for resources like tree cavities for nesting.
Behavior and Diet
Nanday parakeets are highly social and are typically found in flocks of 10 to 20 birds, sometimes more. They are known for their loud, high-pitched shriek, which often makes them heard before they are seen. When not breeding, they form large communal roosts.
Their diet in the wild consists of a variety of seeds, fruits, palm nuts, berries, flowers, and buds. In areas with human settlements, feral birds will also visit bird feeders.

Originally from central South America, specifically the Pantanal region spanning southeast Bolivia, southwest Brazil, central Paraguay, and northern Argentina.
Feral Populations:
Due to escaped or released pets, self-sustaining wild colonies have established themselves in several urban areas, most notably in Florida, California, Texas, and Israel.
Ecology:
In the wild, they frequent open savannahs, grasslands, and scrub forests.
Behavior and Personality
Loud and Social:
They are highly gregarious, often traveling in noisy flocks of 10 to 20 birds. They are known for high-pitched, screeching calls that can be heard from a distance.
Intelligence:
Nandays are exceptionally smart and can learn to mimic human speech, perform tricks, and solve simple puzzles.
Playful Nature:
They are often described as "clowns" and have a unique habit of sleeping on their backs with their feet in the air, which can sometimes startle owners into thinking they are "playing dead".
Care and Lifespan
Diet:
In the wild, they eat seeds, fruit, palm nuts, berries, and flowers. As pets, they require a balanced diet of high-quality pellets, fresh vegetables, and fruits.
Lifespan:
They typically live 18 to 25 years, though some captive individuals have been reported to live up to 30–45 years with optimal care.
Space Requirements:
They are high-energy birds that need a large cage (at least 3 feet tall) and several hours of daily interaction and flight time outside the cage.

Parakeets like to nest on beeches, it's a lot of hollows there.
Thank you all for visits, favs and comments, it's greatly appreciated!
The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and South Asia, 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.
The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red and black neck ring, and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings.
We encountered these Olive-throated Parakeets as we were departing a small restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch of gar fish. Thankfully we were prepared with our cameras ready because the parakeets didn’t hang around for long.
We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...

Nanday Parakeet (Aratinga nenday)
I've got lots and lots of catching up to do on Flickr! Have been really focused on birding of late and haven't had many photo ops. This guy, however, was nice enough to stop provide one.
Looking forward to seeing what I've missed.
