Several parrot species live wild in the Netherlands. Some species more successful than others. The Ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri) is the most successful wild parrot in the Netherlands. It is a medium sized green bird with a long tail and a red beak. In flight you can see their pointy wingtips. They are noisy and have a gregarious life style.
