The Aesthetic Significance of the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri, Scopoli, 1769) in Bangladesh

This study documents the behavioral characteristics, habitat alterations, distribution status, diet, flight patterns, protective measures, and other ecological aspects of the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri). Bangladesh hosts approximately 301 resident bird species, 176 regularly visiting migratory species, and 143 rare vagrants, while 30 species have become nationally extinct. The Rose-ringed Parakeet is one of the most familiar and commonly domesticated bird species in the country; however, extensive habitat destruction has led to a noticeable decline in its wild population. This study highlights the importance of maintaining population balance and promoting conservation strategies for this species.
