Cotorra alejandrina

Nombrada en honor a Alejandro Magno, que llevó ejemplares a Macedonia en 326 a.C., la cotorra alejandrina es uno de los loros domésticos más grandes y con mayor registro histórico. Habita bosques, matorrales y manglares desde Afganistán y Pakistán hasta el sudeste asiático. Los machos lucen un característico collar rosa y negro. Casi Amenazada (NT), con poblaciones en declive por la captura intensiva para el comercio de mascotas y la deforestación. Existen poblaciones asilvestradas en Europa.
