answer text <p>An assessment carried out in 2021 concluded there was sufficient evidence to warrant the inclusion of ring-necked parakeet as a target species on the General Licence to kill or take wild birds for conservation purposes.</p><p>A prior risk assessment for ring-necked parakeets was published by the GB Non-Native Species Secretariat in March 2011 (See risk assessment here: <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nonnativespecies.org%2Fassets%2FUploads%2FRA_Psittacula_krameri_Ring-necked_Parakeet.pdf&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cpqteam%40defra.gov.uk%7C0514fdc796af42d210b508dc4a79c2fa%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C638467134020826535%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=fJ7sGdYnFMURp4TteGhT9RVYneKtiuP0DC%2FJKRPA%2FRI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">RA_Psittacula_krameri_(Ring-necked_Parakeet) (nonnativespecies.org)</a>). The conclusion of this assessment was that this species posed a medium risk (with low uncertainty), with the potential to negatively impact populations of cavity nesting birds.</p><p>These risk assessments may be updated when substantive new scientific evidence is made available that could alter the outcome of the risk assessment. The assessment has already concluded that this species poses a conservation threat. Defra is not aware that there is new evidence currently that would alter the conclusion of the risk assessment. Therefore, there are no immediate plans for a re-assessment of ring-necked parakeets.</p>
