A population of feral Rose-ringed Parakeets inhabits a portion of Nuuanu Valley. This species became established on Oahu in the early 1970's after several birds escaped from captivity. They are found naturally in Northeastern and north-central Africa, Pakistan, India, Shr Lanka, Nepal to central Burma. Large colonies of this species are now established in London, Florida and California and on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii islands. The Rose-ringed Parakeet is accepted as a naturalized species in Hawaii and is on the official state Checklist of the birds of Hawaii.
