The Alexandrine parakeet faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and the illegal pet trade, which significantly impacts wild populations. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, conservation efforts often focus on habitat protection and reducing illegal trapping. Responsible safari tourism helps by raising awareness, supporting local economies that incentivize conservation, and providing a non-extractive way to appreciate these birds in their natural environment.
The Alexandrine parakeet, also known as the Alexandrine parrot, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula of the family Psittaculidae, native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is named after Alexander the Great, who transported numerous birds from Punjab to various European and Mediterranean countries and regions, where they were prized by the royalty, nobility and warlords.
