The Long-tailed Parakeet is a parakeet endemic to the Andaman islands, Nicobar islands, Sumatra, Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia (including Singapore).
These are restless birds that are constantly on move. They climb quickly around in branches, moving quickly from tree to tree. Though they are usually well camouflaged in the green foliage, but their continuous screeching cannot be missed. They tend to feed soon after sunrise and resume foraging in the later afternoons.
In Singapore, they can be found in the Pierce/Mandia area and at the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
