Alexandrine parakeet (Psittacula eupatria), also known as the Alexandrine parrot, is a medium-sized parrot in the genus Psittacula of the family Psittaculidae. One of the largest parakeets, it is named after Alexander the Great, who transported numerous birds from Punjab to various European and Mediterranean countries and regions. It is predominantly green with a light blue-grey sheen on the cheeks and nape, yellow-green abdomen, red patch on the shoulders and massive red beak with yellow tips. The upper-side of the tail passes from green at the top to blue further down, and is yellow at the tip. The underside of the tail is yellow. Only adult males have a black stripe across their lower cheeks and a pink band on their nape.
