"Indian Ringneck" is a name that could be applied to either of two species (as 
an alternative to their regular names). These are: The Barbary Dove 
(Streptopelia risoria) or far more likely the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula 
krameri). Both are non native very common cage pet or aviary birds in Australia 
and both can form feral colonies if allowed to, although it doesn't appear to 
have happened (much if at all) in Australia.
