"The Red-breasted Parakeet, also known as the Moutacheed Parakeet, are not natives of Singapore and was originally found only in Java and Bali.
Together with many others species of parrots and parakeets, the Red-breasted Parakeet were introduced to Singapore 3-4 decades ago through the bird trade. Most have established themselves in Singapore and have feral (i.e. tame birds that returned to the wild) breeding populations.
These parakeets are found at Changi Village around the village Angsana trees along the main road and they actually nest in tree holes found on those trees. So if you are in the vicinity do look out for them and others

Yes, they have invaded my area recently. Previously we got many long-tailed parakeets but during the last few months I have been seeing these instead.
See The Exotic Village Birds of Changi!.
Hi Kevin, I stumbled on your website from the link at Bullockcartwater. I must say your pictures are really stunning. I am really inspired to follow your example. But shy to say, I usually set to 'auto' only.
But anyway, I will try to send you what lousy shots I take.
heh.. actually most of them are not shot by me.. esp the recent posts. note the subject heading. :)
Hi Kevin, I think you are just the person we are looking for.
At my blog, my friends and I are trying to figure the name of a plant which is found at the roadside of Seletar Farmway. The 'seeds' of this plant are used as 'bullets' for our kampong days toy gun. Pls see this Quiz for details.
Many thanks.
