Blossom-headed Parakeet

The blossom-headed parakeet, sometimes called the rosy-headed parakeet, is a lime-green parrot about 30cm long with a tail up to 18cm, weighing 85–90g on average. The male's head, cheeks and ears are pink, becoming pale blue towards the back of the crown and nape, with a narrow black neck collar and black chin stripe, a reddish-brown shoulder spot and long central tail feathers (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is a non-migratory resident breeder in South-east Asia, ranging from eastern Bangladesh, Bhutan, north-east India and Nepal east into Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, in light forests such as savannas, secondary growth and forest edges. It nests in holes in trees, laying four or five white eggs, and makes local movements (Wikipedia, general species account).
