A taxidermy Ring-necked Parakeet (Psittacula krameri), presented beneath a clear glass dome on a turned wooden base.

This recognisable species is noted for its distinctive hooked beak and elegant proportions, here shown in a striking blue-toned colour variation rather than the more commonly seen green.

The bird is mounted in a naturalistic perched position, allowing the form and feather structure to be clearly observed from all angles.

The dome display enhances both preservation and presentation, making it suitable for cabinet display within a collection of natural history, taxidermy, or curiosities.

Ring-necked Parakeets have long been associated with both the exotic pet trade and feral populations across parts of Europe, including the UK, adding an additional layer of interest for collectors of ornithological specimens.
