PAKHI DEKHUN PAKHI CHINUN # 532/558(Observe the Bird and recognize)...SLATY HEADED PARAKEET.. WATERCOLOUR...A4...2015... [FROM PHOTOGRAPH OF MR. ADITYA CHAVAN] ... The slaty-headed parakeet (Psittacula himalayana) is the only psittacid species to exhibit altitudinal migration. The species' range extends from Pakistan, to Western Himalayas in India through Nepal and Bhutan and up to the Eastern Himalayas in the northeastern Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. They descend to the valleys in winter, approximately during the last week of October.
Upper mandible red tipped yellow, lower yellow; head slate grey with black half-collar from chin and throat up sides of neck; body yellowish green.
The slaty-headed parakeet averages 15.5 - 16 inches (~40 cm) in length, with the tail being ~ 6 to 7 inches (~158 to 178 mm) long. Slatyheads are bigger than Plumheads.
Slaty-headed parakeets make excellent pets for owners who understand and meet their needs. Some may learn to talk.
Not globally threatened. CITES II. Generally common, but apparently very poorly documented in recent decades.
