Asian Ring-neck Parakeet


Sunday's visit to Foster Botanical Gardens provided some wonderful photos of flowers and plants. The unexpected photo op came when a flock of Asian ringed-neck parakeets (Psittacula krameri) came to feed on shower tree seed pods.

This is not a native species - pets that escaped captivity many years ago have established breeding colonies on the island of O'ahu - flocks are frequently seen (and heard) flying in and around Honolulu.
