A generic name for parrot. In central Tibet probably the Derbyan Parakeet, Psittacula derbiana (David Holler, tibetbirds). Jam-dpal gives also khyim bya for a kind of black ne tso.
The Derbyan Parakeet is confined to a small pocket of moist evergreen forest in the hills of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh and the adjoining parts of Tibet. The species suffers from poaching for the illegal wildlife trade and fetches a high price in the black market. It is perhaps the rarest of all species of Psittacula in mainland Asia. (avibase).
