I only know of one companion bird from asia, the Indian ring necked, are there any others?

I also know of only two non-hybrid red maccaws, the green wing and scarlet, once again, any others?

There are a number of Asian parrots besides the Ringneck which can be found in the pet trade. Just off the top of my head, there are the Alexandrine parakeet, the mustache parakeet, the Darbyan parakeet, and the plum-headed parakeet. No doubt there are other species I'm forgetting at the moment!

The scarlet macaw and the green wing macaw are the only two mostly red macaws left in the world. There used to be a third, smaller species, the Cuban macaw, but it ibecame extinct during the 19th century.
