The rose-ringed parakeet is [[sexually dimorphic]]. The adult male has a red or black neck ring and the hen and immature birds of both sexes show little or no neck rings. Both sexes have a distinctive green colour. Rose-ringed parakeets measure on average {{cvt|40|cm}} in length, including the tail [[feather]]s, a large portion of their total length. Their average single-wing length is about {{cvt|15|–|17.5|cm}}. In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable [[Bird sound|squawk]]. Captive birds can be taught to speak. It is herbivorous and not [[migration|migratory]]. {{-}} {{biology-stub}} [[Category:Birds of Asia]] [[Category:Parakeets]] [[Category:Birds of Africa]]
