Layard's Parakeets are less gregarious than some of its relatives, and are usually in small groups outside the breeding season, when it often feeds with Brahminy Starlings. Its flight is swift and direct, and the call is a raucous chattering. During the breeding season, they nest in the holes of large trees, each clutch averaging 3 to 4 white eggs that are incubated for about 23 days. Description: The plumage is mostly green. More
