The Indian Ringneck Parakeet (Psittacula krameri manillensis).

Indian Ringneck Parakeets have hooked beaks, long tails, and are moderately small. Both males and females look very similar however, the male has a black ring around his neck.

Indian Ringnecks are native to Asia and Africa and can be seen in the forests or arid environments.

We captured a few of them during our annual vacation to Ahmedabad,India. We were pleasantly surprised to see these avian variety in abundance in the army cantonment area.

It appeared they were happy to pose with their variant moods and postures.

Wow ! u look pretty.














































Here is my Palace.








































A dip check.













I beg to have a different view of the world!!!

  3. Very nice shots and learned the palace of these beautiful birds. Ringneck Parakeets must not have the habit to build their own nests.

    The last one is so cute.

  14. Came across your blog from another's link and I'm glad I did as I've really enjoyed reading some of your posts.

    There's a large population of Ring-necked Parakeets in the South East of England and, where I live, I have them visiting my garden in numbers - so they are daily visitors.

    It was great to see your pictures and these birds in another environment and country :D

  20. "Unfaithful? Who, me?"
    "You know I have eyes only for you, sweetie!"
    "Go away! I never want to see you again in my parrotty life"
    "Aaah... nuts!"
    "Damn! She really means it this time"
    Sorry... I'm not wacko (well, maybe just a little bit) but your photos really spoke to me, frame by frame. And played out a prime-time soap opera too.
    Go back and check the first five photos. I swear this is what I heard.
    Hey, you could mint millions out of this, you know. If Ekta Kapoor can do it, so can you. Albeit with a parrot cast.

  21. Great bird photography. The nicest to see them free in their own environment.

  22. Wow, that's some interesting color in that parakeet. It's really interesting to see birds that we would consider exotic, just roaming around in other parts of the world.
    I also have to compliment you on some stunning landscape shots on your blog as well. I really like your banner image at the top. It reminds me of a nice vacation.
