Rose-ringed Parakeet Fledgling
Psittacula krameri (fledgling)
Fledglings have left the nest or are preparing to do so, with functional wings but clumsy landings and shorter tail feathers than adults. They practice short flights between branches, follow adults to feeding areas, and learn to handle seeds, fruits, flowers, and buds with the beak and feet. Their calls remain frequent because they still beg and keep contact with nearby parents. A notable fact is that young birds lack the adult male’s rose-and-black neck ring, so they resemble females for a long period.
