Abstract
The biology of the Rose-ringed Parakeet Psittacula krameri has been widely studied in many of its naturalized habitats around the world. However, its potential status and impacts may have gone unnoticed in regions with limited monitoring. In this report, we bring attention to recent sightings of the species in Mozambique and the possibility of its establishment in stable populations, particularly in the capital city of Maputo. Detection is crucial in terms of potential consequences and preventive measures to mitigate the impact of an invasive species.
