The Indian Ringneck Parakeet, scientifically known as Psittacula krameri, is a member of the order Psittaciformes, which encompasses all parrots, and is classified within the family Psittaculidae. The species Psittacula krameri is further divided into four recognized subspecies, with the Indian Ringneck (Psittacula krameri manillensis) being the most prominent in aviculture.
The natural range of Psittacula krameri spans a broad geographic area. Native populations are found throughout the Indian subcontinent, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. These birds thrive in open woodlands, agricultural areas, forests with sparse canopies, and urban environments where food sources are abundant. Their adaptability has contributed to their successful colonization in a variety of climates and ecosystems.
Beyond their native range, feral populations have been established in multiple countries due to escapes or releases from captivity. These self-sustaining flocks are now found in parts of Europe (notably the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands), the Middle East, and North America. The species is considered invasive in some areas due to its competition with native birds for nesting sites and food.
