Activity, rest, and lifespan
Flocks spend the night in communal roosts in tall trees, often in towns, where hundreds or thousands may gather. Birds are active from first light and feed through the day.
Captive birds commonly live 20 years or more; how long wild birds survive has not been well measured.
07
Rose-ringed Parakeet reproduction
Nests are in tree holes, often old woodpecker or barbet holes that the pair enlarges, and sometimes in gaps in walls. The female incubates 3 or 4 white eggs, occasionally more, for a little over three weeks. Young leave the nest at about seven weeks.
Adult males have a black chin stripe that runs into a narrow black and rose-pink collar. Females and young birds lack the collar or show only a faint paler green one. Males gain theirs in their second or third year.
