Lord Derby’s Parakeet
The Lord Derby’s parakeet (Psittacula derbiana)德拜鹦鹉(大紫胸鹦鹉), also known as Derbyan parakeet, is a monotypic parrot species, which is confined to small pocket of moist evergreen forest in the hills and mountains of the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, and adjoining parts of Tibet, Sichuan and Yunnan in China.[1] The species suffers from cutting of old trees (important for nesting sites) and poaching for the illegal wildlife trade.[1] In 2011, its status was updated from Least Concern to Near Threatenedon the IUCN Red List.[1] The adult male and female are easily distinguished because they have different beak colours and slightly different plumage.[1]
The name of this bird commemorates Edward Stanley, 13th Earl of Derby.[citation needed]
Lord Derby’s parakeets feed on fruits, berries, seeds, and leaf buds, occasionally foraging in gardens and fields.
