The parakeet, also known as the Quaker or Monk Parakeet, is a beautiful bird native to South America. With its vibrant green feathers and playful nature, it's no wonder why these birds are popular pets around the world. One stunning photograph captured a flock of Rose-ringed or ring-necked parakeets in flight as they made their way to roost in an urban cemetery in London. The image was so captivating that it became a finalist in the Birds category of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards in 2014. If you're interested in historical depictions of parakeets, a chromolithograph from 1896 showcases various species of these colorful birds. From Cyanoramphus parakeets to Bourkes parakeets and Alexandrine parakeets, this artwork highlights their diversity and beauty. Another photo captures two adorable parakeets perched together, showcasing their companionship and social nature. Meanwhile, a male Bourkes parakeet is caught mid-flight from a front view perspective - truly capturing its gracefulness and agility. The Ring-necked or Rose-ringed Parakeet is another common species found worldwide. One image shows this bird perched on a feeder while another displays it flying with wings down from a side view angle - both highlighting its unique features. For those interested in historical references, John James Audubon's famous illustration depicts the Carolina Parrot or Carolina Parakeet from his renowned book "The Birds of America" published between 1827-1838. This extinct species serves as an important reminder of conservation efforts for all endangered birds today. Not forgetting our friends down under, Budgerigars are well-known Australian natives often kept as pets due to their intelligence and ability to mimic human speech. A photograph taken at Alice Springs captures an adult pair near their nesthole entrance - showcasing their natural behaviors even when living alongside humans. Lastly, we have the Ring-necked Parakeet spotted in Richmond Park, London.
