Rose-ringed Parakeet

Psittacula krameri

Description:

Green bird with an orange beak and a red ring about the neck, giving the head an overall appearance of a helmet. The underside of the wings have black in them as well.

Habitat:

These birds were living in the walls of an ancient, abandoned city in India. The air was hot and dry.

Notes:

In the third picture you can see one of the parakeets facing off with a pigeon. The next shot, with the parakeet in flight, was actually taken while the pigeon and the parakeet did battle.
