Usage notes
As with many terms that name organisms, this term is often spelled in katakana, especially in biological contexts (where katakana is customary), as コンゴウインコ. The kana spelling appears to be the most common for this term in general contexts as well, possibly due to the rarity of the kanji for inko.
