Derbyan Parakeet

Derbyan Parakeet

Bird

Lord Derby's Parakeet (Psittacula derbiana), also known as Derbyan Parakeet, is a monotypic parrot species, which is confined to small pocket of moist evergreen forest in the hills of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and the adjoining parts of Tibet. The species suffers from poaching for the illegal wildlife trade and fetches a high price in the black market. It is perhaps the rarest of all species of Psittacula in mainland Asia. The adult male and female are easily distinguished because they have different beak colours and slightly different plumage.
