The Plum-headed Parakeet(Psittacula cyanocephala) is a parakeet endemic to the Indian Subcontinent.
The Plum-headed Parakeet is a bird of forest and open woodland. They are found from the foothills of the Himalayas south to Sri Lanka. They are not found in the dry regions. They are sometimes kept as pets and escaped birds have been noted in New York, Florida and in some places in the Middle East.
The Plum-headed Parakeet is a gregarious and noisy species with range of raucous calls.
It makes local movements, driven mainly by the availability of the fruit and blossoms which make up its diet. They feed on grains, fruits, the fleshy petals of flowers (Salmalia,Butea) and sometimes raid agricultural fields and orchards. The breeding season inIndia is July to August in Sri Lanka. Courtship includes bill rubbing and courtship feeding. It nests in holes, chiselled out by the pair, in tree trunks, and lays 4–6 white eggs. The female appears to be solely responsible for incubation and feeding. They roost communally. In captivity it can learn to mimic beeps and short whistling tunes but not human speech.
