Bird Families of the World

Plum-headed Parakeet

Old World parrots are found in a wide range of wooded habitats. Primarily found in tropical and sub-tropical habitats, some species range into temperate wooded areas. Even in species that inhabit more open habitats, such as grasslands and savannas, trees are important for nesting.

The family is Psittaculidae.

There are 189 species placed in 45 genera.

So far I have photographed 20 different species. In case I photographed the male and the female I have added a photograph of both.

Of the following genera I did not photograph any specie so far:

Psittrichas with 1 specie

To make it easier you can find the genus name combined with the species name (visible when displaying the photograph)
