As the name suggests, the Indian Ring Neck parrot originates from India.

These birds are elegant, beautiful and make good pets for those willing to provide ongoing obedience training.

If not given sufficient attention, the Indian Ring Neck may become unfriendly and disobedient. In order to maintain their friendly personalities and tameness, regular handling and socialisation are a must for these birds.

The plumage of the Indian Ring Neck is apple green, although mutations in a range of other colours also exist. This includes buttercup yellow and the increasingly popular powder blue

The Indian Ringneck Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), is a medium-sized bird with a hooked beak and long tail; it is classified as a parakeet. On average the birds are 14-16" inches in length and up to 7 of these inches can be tail feather alone.

Wild Indian Ringnecks are green, blue, white and yellow and feature a red beak with a back tip on the upper mandible. At sexual maturity (2 years) male birds of the species will grow in a striking black ring with pink and pale blue outer rings. The females also sport rings but they are generally very pale and hard to see.

They're a parrot a little bigger than a cockatiel, some times green and as they mature they get colorful rings around their necks.
