   Feral Rose-ringed Parakeets have established a stable population in Florida and other parts of the U.S.  They are native to Asia and Africa. We can ID this bird as a female Rose-ringed Parakeet as follows:
  • Bright green with very long tail and gray feet.
  • Red bill.
  • Narrow black line from cere to eye.
  • Reddish eye-ring.
  • This parakeet is female, as it doesn't have the black collar of the male.
   The Rose-winged Parakeet is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 274.
