The raw parrot, known locally as raw tota, is the Alexandrine parakeet, one of the largest and most familiar parrots in Pakistan. It has green plumage, a heavy red beak and a maroon shoulder patch, and adult males develop a black and rose-coloured neck ring. Raw parrots are intelligent and can learn words, especially when hand-raised. Since this species is native to the region, keeping wild-caught birds may be restricted by provincial wildlife laws, so buy captive-bred birds from legal sellers. Find breeders in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Multan, compare prices and message sellers directly. Use a large, strong cage, as their beak is powerful.
