English: The red-breasted parakeet, a species of parrot indigenous to Southeast Asia, stands out as one of the more extensively distributed members of its genus, showcasing notable geographical variations. Distinguished by a prominent red patch on its breast, this species is alternatively referred to as the moustached parakeet, contingent upon its subspecies. This parakeet, with a swarthily mustachioed appearance, inhabits lowland forests and forest edges, and is often encountered in gardens and parks within its introduced range. Both male and female individuals exhibit vibrant green plumage with salmon-colored chests, accompanied by gray-blue heads and a distinct black mustache. Males feature a strikingly red upper bill, while the bills of females are entirely black. Typically observed in swift flight, emitting high-pitched and grating shrieks, the red-breasted parakeet adds a dynamic and colorful presence to its surroundings.
