Recently, a rare view was captured by environmental photographers in Ruili, western Yunnan's Dehong autonomous prefecture of the Dai and Jingpo minorities.

Flocks of red-breasted parakeets(Psittacula alexandri) appeared in the sky, flying low over waters and forests. 

Characterized primarily by their red bills and green plumage, red-breasted parakeets migrate for food and proper habitats regularly. 

The clean air and stretches of corn fields here are believed as the main magnet to attract them to this city right on China's border with Myanmar.
