Red-breasted Parakeet feeding its offspring

At Corbett National Park, a nesting Red-breasted Parakeet feeds its young ones at the opening to their nest-hole... See how it uses its beak as a third leg - almost like a tripod. It uses the beak to climb the tree, up and above the nest-hole! Meanwhile, the sunlight dances around on the leaves and trunk of the sal tree, creating quite a tapestry of natural light... A parakeet feeding its offspring. Parakeet meaning long tail belongs to the family of Parrot. Parakeets are small sized parrots; they have long, tapered tail feathers rather than the chubby bodies and more square shape bodies of larger parrots. Parakeets are graceful birds and have a very joyful nature. They love attention and are very social with each other and people. Parakeets live in flocks in the wild; these wonderful personalities have made them some of the most popular pet birds. Parakeets come in different sizes and colors. In the United States, The Budgie or Budgerigar, which is called Parakeets, is one of the best-known parakeets. These small Parrots are not only intelligent but they are very caring at the same time. Every bird shares the same responsibility of housing, feeding and security requirements.
