Illegal Parrots In India


Alexandrine parakeet

A bird in a cage is a concept some people find fascinating and thus there are hundreds of parrots and love birds sold everyday around India. What many do not realize though is that by buying these birds they are letting an illegal trade flourish that is killing lakhs of beautiful birds each year.

According to the organization People for Animals, Rosy ringed Parakeets are one of the most common illegally traded birds in India. Every alternate week the organization rescues these birds from trains and buses on their way to pet markets.


 Eight of the 12 native species of parrots found in India regularly turn up in the illegal pet trade. These are:
  • Alexandrine,
  • Rose-ringed,
  • Plum-headed,
  • Red-breasted,
  • Malabar,
  • Himalayan Parakeets,
  • Finsch’s Parakeets,
  • and Vernal Hanging-parrot.
