Psittacula krameri is commonly referred to as the Indian ring-necked parakeet. This species is a medium-sized parrot, and is native to the Indian subcontinent, as well as parts of Africa and the Middle East. Some other synonyms for Psittacula krameri include rose-ringed parakeet, ring-necked parrot, and green parrot. Despite their beauty, Indian ring-necked parakeets are considered an invasive species in some regions due to their ability to outcompete native bird species for resources and nest sites. However, their popularity as pets has led to breeding programs in many countries around the world.
