The Australian ringneck or Port Lincoln parrot is a medium-sized Australian parrot with a black or green head depending on the subspecies, a yellow collar on the nape and a yellow or green belly. It is highly variable geographically and the different forms were long considered separate species. It has benefited from Australian dryland farming, although road deaths are a significant cause of mortality.
