"Scientific Name: Psittacula cyanocephala Native Range: Indian Subcontinent The Plum-headed Parakeet is a small parrot species within the genus Psittacula. This species is sexually dimorphic: males typically exhibit a vibrant plum-colored head with a black neck ring, while females display a grayish-blue head without the distinct neck ring. Both sexes have green bodies and long tails, characteristic of Psittacula parakeets. Plum-headed Parakeets inhabit forests, woodland edges, farmlands, and open countryside. At Parrot Stars, we prioritize education, welfare, and responsible parrot ownership to help ensure every bird finds and thrives in a forever home. Before taking home any parrot, we provide comprehensive guidance on proper caging and setup, positive reinforcement training, household safety, nutrition, and enrichment. Parrots in captivity are still wild animals with all their natural instincts. Your overall success and experience with any species of companion parrot is greatly impacted by positive reinforcement training. A parrot’s behavior reflects both the environment they live in and the training they receive. All of our hand-fed babies are hatched and raised in our own breeding facility and weaned onto a diverse, high-variety diet. Our parrots are never clipped and are fully flighted.
