📖 1. Overview

The Alexandrine Parakeet is a large green parakeet living in South and Southeast Asia. It has five subspecies and lives in small flocks in lowland forests, farms, and gardens.

🦴 2. Anatomy & Morphology

Males have a thin black line from the lores to the eye, a thick black stripe across the lower cheek, and a broad pink collar around the hindneck. Its bill is red, its eyes are pale yellow, and there is a dark maroon-red patch on the shoulder, while females are duller and lack the black cheek stripe.

🔍 3. Ecology & Behavior

It eats a variety of wild and cultivated seeds, flower petals and nectar, grain, and fruit, sometimes damaging crops. Living in small flocks, it gathers into large flocks when food is abundant and at communal roosts, nesting in hollows of coconut palms or large trees to lay 2–4 eggs.
