In Bhitarkanika National Park we hired a boat and cruised in the lake. After cruising for hours we got down from the boat on a different shore. We could spot some birds there and one of them is the Rose-ringed Parakeet.
They are gregarious tropical Afro-Asian parakeet species that has an extremely large range. They are one of few parrot species that have successfully adapted to changed living styles.
In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call.

They now breed in England Rajesh. Escapees from captivity established populations in the wild in a few places.
