Feral Rose-ringed Parakeets have established a stable population in Florida and other parts of the U.S. They are native to Asia and Africa. We can ID this bird as a female Rose-ringed Parakeet as follows:
- Bright green with very long tail and gray feet.
- Red bill.
- Narrow black line from cere to eye.
- Reddish eye-ring.
- This parakeet is female, as it doesn't have the black collar of the male.
The Rose-winged Parakeet is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 274.
