About Carolina Parakeets: The Carolina parakeet was a small, vividly colored parrot native to the eastern and central United States and was the only parrot species indigenous to that region. It had a bright green body, a long tapered tail, and a striking yellow head with an orange face that made it unmistakable among North American birds. Carolina parakeets lived in large, noisy flocks and were highly social, often remaining close to one another even in danger. They inhabited forests, swamps, and riverbanks, nesting in tree cavities within mature woodlands. Their diet consisted of seeds, fruits, nuts, and berries. The Carolina parakeet became extinct in the early 20th century. // Image Credit: Audubon, John James, and Robert Havell. "Carolina parrot : Psitacus carolinensis, Linn. Males, 1. Females, 2.
