Hole-nesters, often taking over an old woodpecker nest hole, or a larger-sized nestbox. Buds, fruits, vegetables, nuts, berries, and seeds. The adult male sports a red or black neck ring and the hen and immature birds of both sexes either show no neck rings, or display shadow-like pale to dark grey neck rings. Both sexes have a distinctive green colour. Often from January onwards, but some birds lay eggs as late as June. 2 - 4 |
