Long Tailed Parakeet




Common name : Long Tailed Parakeet
Scientific Name: Psittacula longicauda
Notes: commonly trapped and sold in pet shops in Johor Bahru. Do not do well in captivity. I photographed a nesting pair in Bukit Chagar back in 1992. The wooded area has since been cleared to build a new imigration complex.
