This wild Parakeet in Sri Lanka caught my eye because of it’s fantastic colours.

I had never seen a Parakeet in the wild before, I actually never knew where they came from – I jsut knew they seemed to pop up in pet stores all of the time, so it was nice to see one out in the open spaces of Bundala National Park, Sri Lanka.

This Rose-ringed, or Ring-necked Parakeet was one of a handful that I saw flying around in the park, which is a popular spot for people who enjoy birding.
