@parrot.wild.life: The rose-ringed parakeet #parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the #ringneck #parrot (in #aviculture ) or the Kramer parrot, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus #Psittacula , of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and the Indian Subcontinent, 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. Rose-ringed parakeets are popular as pets and they have a long history in aviculture. The ancient Greeks kept the Indian subspecies P. #krameri #manillensis , and the ancient Romans kept the African subspecies P. krameri krameri. Colour mutations of the Indian rose-ringed parakeet subspecies have become widely available in recent years. A blue colour morph mutation of the rose-ringed parakeet is also commonly kept in aviculture. Birds that display this mutation have solid light blue feathers instead of green. #Bird #wild #foryoupage #Foryou
