The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The rose-ringed parakeet is a green parrot with a very long tail and a red bill, with a black and pink collar in adult males. It is native to a belt of sub-Saharan Africa and to the Indian subcontinent, but the pet trade has established it in dozens of cities around the world. In Spain there are well-established feral populations in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other cities, and it is listed in the catalogue of invasive alien species.
