Psittacula eupatria (Linnaeus, 1766)

Големият александър (Psittacula eupatria) е член на разред Папагалоподобни (Psittaciformes) и на семейство Psittaculidae. Видът е наречен на Александър Велики, за който се смята, че е донесъл голям брой екземпляри от вида от региона Пунджаб в много европейски и средиземноморски региони и страни, където са били смятани за ценни притежания на благородници и кралски особи. Видът се е натурализирал в множество европейски държави, особено в Германия, южна Англия, Белгия, Гърция, западна Турция и Нидерландия, където живее наред с ята от натурализирани папагали от вида Крамеров папагал (Psittacula krameri).
