Red-breasted Parakeet
Psittacula alexandri
The adult red-breasted parakeet lives in open forest, woodland, farmland, gardens, and city trees across parts of South and Southeast Asia. It feeds mainly on seeds, fruits, blossoms, buds, and cultivated crops, using a strong hooked bill to crack and manipulate food. It is an agile flier and a skilled climber, often moving through branches with help from both feet and bill. A notable feature is its sexual dimorphism: adult males have a dark upper bill, while females usually show a darker or blackish bill overall.
