LEARNING BIRDS # 06
The rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri), also known as the ring-necked parakeet, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula, of the family Psittacidae. It has disjunct native ranges in Africa and South Asia, and is now introduced into many other parts of the world where feral populations have established themselves and are bred for the exotic pet trade.
The rose-ringed parakeet is sexually dimorphic. The adult male sports a red and black neck ring, and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings. Both sexes have a distinctive green colour in the wild, and captive bred ringnecks have multiple colour mutations including blue, violet and yellow. Rose-ringed parakeets measure on average 40 cm (16 in) in length, including the tail feathers, a large portion of their total length. Their average single-wing length is about 15 to 17.5 cm (5.9 to 6.9 in). In the wild, this is a noisy species with an unmistakable squawking call. Captive individuals can be taught to speak. They are a herbivorous and non-migratory species.
One of the few parrot species that have successfully adapted to living in disturbed habitats, it has withstood the onslaught of urbanisation and deforestation. As a popular pet species, escaped birds have colonised a number of cities around the world, including Northern and Western Europe. These parakeets have also proven themselves capable of living in a variety of climates outside their native range, and are able to survive low winter temperatures in Northern Europe.
The species is listed as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) because its population appears to be increasing, but its popularity as a pet and unpopularity with farmers have reduced its numbers in some parts of its native range.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3 Verse 21
यद्यदाचरति श्रेष्ठस्तत्तदेवेतरो जनः।
स यत्प्रमाणं कुरुते लोकस्तदनुवर्तते॥
The world follows the strategies and actions of the virtuous and noble leaders. (3.21)
श्रेष्ठ पुरुष जो-जो आचरण करता है, अन्य पुरुष भी वैसा-वैसा ही आचरण करते हैं। वह जो कुछ प्रमाण कर देता है, समस्त मनुष्य-समुदाय उसी के अनुसार बरतने लग जाता है (यहाँ क्रिया में एकवचन है, परन्तु ‘लोक’ शब्द समुदायवाचक होने से भाषा में बहुवचन की क्रिया लिखी गई है।) ॥21॥

प्यार और ममता…
ना जाने क्यों दिल मचल रहा है आज बार बार,
बस एक बार प्यार से तुम पुकार लो मेरा नाम,
अपने ममता के छाँव में पनाह दे दो तुम मुझे,
ताकि भूल जाऊँ वो दर्द जो जमाने ने दिए है मुझे।
मुझे याद हैं वो लम्हे,
जब जागी थी तुम रात भर,
अपने आँचल में छुपा कर,
मेरे हर दर्द को परे किए थे तुमने।
एक बार याद करके आज पुकार लो तुम मुझे,
भूलने की बीमारी से कुछ लम्हे चुरा लो मेरे लिए,
समेट लो मुझे अपने आलिंगन में तुम मेरी माँ,
मेरी सजा कम कर दो पास आ जाओ तुम मेरे।
जाने के बाद याद में तड़पता हैं ये दिल,
फिर पास रहने के लिए क्यों नहीं मचलता है ये दिल,
शायद पास रहने से अपनापन बढ़ता है,
इसीलिए पास आने से डरता है मेरा दिल।
एक ही तमन्ना हैं दिल में मेरे,
बस तुम ही माँ बनो…

HOW WILL YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU?
If I buy you a diamond ring, silks and gold so you drip in jewels does that mean I love you more than if I give you an orange from my garden or write a poem from my soul and trace hearts on your body?
If I fly you to the moon and back and buy you a star in the galaxy, will you know how much I love you?
If I sit and hold your hand and chat about what you’re feeling to let you know I care would that be enough or would you wish you were Jupiter?
If you watch me flying off the trapeze doing circles in the air and land on my feet, would you not put me on a pedestal or think I’m crazy?
If I’m walking down the street and I fall on my face, would you…
