Rose-ringed
parakeets stay together in large numbers except during the period of courtship
and breeding. During this time they are found in pairs. The male and female
renew their pair bond every year. Their courtship display is apparent and
romantic. The male approaches his mate while repeatedly, feeding her and
rubbing bills with his partner.
Once the eggs are laid, often in a natural hole
in a tree, or in hole made by other birds like the woodpeckers, the female incubates
the eggs for more than three weeks, while she is fed and guarded by her mate. |
