Psittacula alexandri
Although this species considered Least Concern by IUCN, the nominate race, which occurs in Java, is close to extinction. It is easily identified by the large reddish patch on its breast. An alternative name is the Moustached Parakeet depending on subspecies. Most of the subspecies are confined to small islands or a cluster of islands in Indonesia.

Although this species considered Least Concern by IUCN, the nominate race, which occurs in Java, is close to extinction. This one in this photo already passed away 4 years ago. I got this guy since 2000 from the last owner because this bird show hostility to everybody except me. (My friend's finger get nasty wound from this parakeet)
