There's been a lot of controversy regarding the naming of birds. Indian ornithologists called this bird as the Blue-winged parakeet and later people standardized the name to Malabar parakeet. Call it whatever, it remains the most beautiful of the parakeets we get here and it's endemic to the western ghats.
