The Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the Ringneck Parrot, is a highly adaptable and widespread parrot species, native to parts of Africa and the Indian subcontinent, but also established in many urban areas globally due to escapes from captivity.
When it comes to breeding, Rose-ringed Parakeets are obligate cavity nesters. This means they must find existing holes or cavities to lay their eggs and raise their young, as they do not excavate their own nests from
The breeding season for Rose-ringed Parakeets in India typically runs from December to June, with a peak often around February to April. This generally coincides with the drier, cooler months transitioning into warmer spring.
During this period, pairs will claim a suitable cavity, line it minimally with wood chips or detritus, and the female will lay 2-6 white eggs. Both parents are involved in incubating the eggs and raising the helpless at birth chicks.
