Résumé :	Rose-ringed Parakeet was mentioned for the first time in Algiers in 1984 and breeds there since 1995 at least. It progressively widens its range through Algiers and its suburbs. Its installation is evidently favoured by numerous recent releases. After a decade of breeding, it could then constitute a small autonomous population and soon be regarded as being acclimatized. The installation in Algiers contributes to supplement the chain of introduced populations on the circumference of the Mediterranean basin. To some extent at least, it is established that it is the African Subspecies of the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula K krameri) which was, introduced, unlike the introductions of Asian origin carried out into many other countries. The occupied habitats are heterogeneous forested areas, with a prevalence of palm trees and exotic tree species, as those found in the public and private gardens of Algiers.
