Parakeet
(Psittacula krameri)
The photo above caught my eye recently. It shows a flock of Rose-ringed Parakeets attacking bags of seeds. I've never heard of this species before, but it is common in about 20 countries in Africa and in and around India. As a migrant and a introduced species, it is also found in warm climates and places around the world, such as Australia, southern USA, Great Britain and other western countries. It is highly communal and moves in large flocks, as evidenced in top photo. It has an IUCN 'least concerned' rating.
