Indian Ringneck Parrot.


We sent a few emails to various organisations to find out what this is.
Psittacular krameri is the official title. Although it's natural colour is green there are a number of mutations. This pair may have escaped from an aviary. (and I've had to stretch the telephoto lens a wee bit.)

If they escaped, good for them! I hate the idea of keeping birds in a prison.

I'm also delighted they escaped, it's such a joy to see them out and about enjoying themselves.

Hope they ain't too noisy. Hows the traveling going?

I could have told you what they were!

Gecko said...

They're not noisy at all MK, and we're stopped again for a couple of moths.
I did think of asking you OB, wish I had now!

If that is a blue one, they are worth about $300 here.

!! yegods! That's $600 on the hoof for the two of 'em.
I'd rather see them flying around in the wild though.
