Nicobar Parakeet

The Nicobar parakeet, or Blyth's parakeet, is one of the largest parakeets, 56–60 cm from head to tail tip and weighing about 224 g. It is predominantly green with a yellowish-grey head and prominent black facial markings: a black stripe from the forehead to the eyes and a broad black band from the lower mandible to the sides of the neck. The iris is reddish-orange (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is endemic to the Nicobar Islands. The cached account gives no diet or breeding information. SoIB 2023 rates it a Moderate conservation priority, an island forest resident that eats fruit and nectar, with a Restricted range of about 1,500 km² and insufficient data on trends (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
