Rose-ringed Parakeet, Psittacula krameri
The Rose-ringed Parakeet, Psittacula krameri, resident in Tropical Africa and India has been a popular caged bird. It has a long history as a pet, having been kept by both the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Due to escaped birds, breeding populations of feral birds have become established in many areas of the world, including Hawaii. Ironically its popularity as a cage bird has caused a serious decline in its natural habitat.

The Chihuahuan Raven, Corvus cryptoleucus, used to be known as the White-necked Raven as you can see above. It looks very much like the Common Raven but averages a smaller size, nearer to the American Crow. DNA studies show that California Common Ravens are closer to Chihuahuan Raven than they are to Holartic Common Raven.
It is found in the Southwestern U.S., and Northern Mexico.
