in my mother tongue marathi it is called 'popat'
and in hindustani or hindi it is our national language it is called 'tota'
although tota and myana are all together different species they are always linked together as pair of lovers there are many stories describing tota myana love

you wont believe they were sold for say 5 or 10 buks in my child hood now they may be charging not more than 100 buks may be in city they may charge 500 buks
they are favorite because they imitate the sound that we make they can not talk but still people beleive
still they are abundant not like owls they were killed for black magic now we are left with very few of the owls the worst part is their eggs were used for black magic

The Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the Ringnecked Parakeet, is a gregarious tropical parakeet species that has an extremely large range. Since the trend of the population appears to be increasing, the species has been evaluated as Least Concern by IUCN in 2009.[1]
Rose-ringed parakeets are popular as pets. Its scientific name commemorates the Austrian naturalist Wilhelm Heinrich Kramer.[2]
This non-migrating species is one of few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in 'disturbed habitats', and in that way withstood the onslaught of urbanisation and deforestation. In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call
believe me its was shoot from my balcony of my house in dombivali on my last visit my house is on 2nd floor of 4 story building surrounded by many more apartments it was in open and i was told it comes there daily same time (i am going to check it on my next visit)

How pretty. Is this one in the wild, or a captive one? We have one at work, and he is such a sweetie!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it is certainly not in captivity to say wild yes more correct word would be it is out in open but in city called dombivali district thane state maharashtra country india i was there at my home for brief 5 days and it came coming on that tree which was just 10 feet away from the balcony; some conditions were adverse it is rainy season so light was not good and my balcony faces west and he use to come at around 5 pm so it was against light but good thin he kept coming for three days same time same place and was quite seating for almost 10 to 15 minutes
