Alexandrine parakeets(Ringneck Parrot) doing humorous thing - Funny PARROTS Videos.<br /><br /> The Indian Ring-necked Parakeet originates from southern India. Its closest cousin - the African Ringneck Parakeet - is found in West Africa to Southern Sudan.<br /><br /> It is one of four recognized subspecies of Ring-necked Parakeets - and is the most commonly kept in captivity.<br /><br /> These elegant and beautiful birds can make good pets for pet owners who are willing to provide ongoing obedience training.<br /><br /> If not given sufficient attention, the Indian Ring Neck may become unfriendly and disobedient. In order to maintain their friendly personalities and tameness, regular handling and socialization are a must for these birds.<br /><br /> The plumage of the Indian Ring Neck is apple green, although mutations in a range of other colors also exist. This includes buttercup yellow and the increasingly popular powder blue.<br />Indian Ringnecks originated in Sri Lanka. Their extensive native range now includes Pamban or Rameswaram Island (an island located between India and Sri Lanka), the Indian sub-continent, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, as well as the Burmese region to Cochinchina (the southern third of Vietnam. They are common throughout most of their natural range.<br />The Indian Ringneck Parakeet is a medium-sized parrot that measures between 14 - 17 inches (36 - 43 cm) in length - about half of which are the long tail feathers alone. The wings are 6 - 7 inches (153 - 180 mm) long. They weigh between 4 - 5 oz (115 - 140 grams).<br /><br />This parakeet has a long tail and a hooked beak. The upper beak is orangey-red with a black tip; the lower bill is blackish with a paler tip. The irises are pale yellow. The legs and feet are ashy-slate to greenish-slate.<br /><br />The original plumage coloration (and the color mostly found in the wild within their natural range) is green with a yellowish or bluish-grey hue to the lighter-colored under plumage. The nape (back of a bird's neck) shows a blue suffusion that can at times extend to the back of the head. The outer tail feathers are green. The blue central tail feathers have yellowish-green tips. There is a black stripe running through the chin area.<br /> Within their natural range, Indian Ringnecks mostly breed between February and March, although some breeding activities have been observed in April.<br /><br /> Most parrot species mate for life; however, this is not the case with the Indian Ringnecks.<br /><br /> They nest in tree cavities - either natural or excavated by the birds themselves using their beaks and claws. If they excavated the nest cavity themselves, the entrance hole is usually a circular, ~2 inch + opening. They may use the deserted nests of Woodpeckers and Barbets. They may even take advantage of holes in old walls and buildings to make their nests in.<br /><br /> The average clutch consists of 2 - 6 whitish eggs. These eggs are incubated for about 22 - 24 days.<br /><br /> The young fledge when they are about 6 - 7 weeks old.<br /> Indian Ringnecks reach repro
