periquito-rabijunco

Um dos papagaios mais amplamente distribuidos e invasores do mundo, as periquitas-de-colar sao nativas da Africa subsaariana e do sul da Asia, mas estabeleceram grandes populacoes assilvestradas em mais de 35 paises da Europa, America do Norte, Japao e Australia apos fugas de aves em cativeiro.
