Alexandrine Parakeet
The Alexandrine parakeet is a striking bird species that boasts an array of vivid colors and a boisterous personality. Native to the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, this majestic parrot has become increasingly popular as a pet due to its beauty and intelligence.
Sporting a predominantly green plumage, the Alexandrine parakeet is characterized by its distinctive pinkish-beige collar and a bright red beak that stands out against its lush green feathers. With an average lifespan of 25 years, these charismatic parakeets are renowned for their friendly and sociable nature, making them beloved pets in households around the world. However, the Alexandrine parakeet is also a familiar sight in the wild, often seen flocking together in large groups, chattering away in their melodious calls, and adding a splash of color to their natural habitats.
