Rose-ringed parakeets are large pale green parakeets that are native to India and neighbouring countries, and also North Africa. They have been introduced to many other countries, where they often form large flocks in city parks. Rose-ringed parakeets are not considered to be established in the wild in New Zealand. Illegal releases of aviary birds in the northern North Island have produced short-lived feral populations that have so far been contained, mainly through live-trapping. The rose-ringed parakeet is considered a horticultural and conservation pest species, and is an Unwanted Organism under the Biosecurity Act. If you think you have seen a rose-ringed parakeet, phone the Ministry for Primary Industries Pests and Diseases Hotline 0800 80 99 66.
