Conuropsis c. carolinensis (Carolina Conure)
Conuropsis c. ludovicianus (Louisiana Parakeet)

Carolina Parakeet
Conuropsis carolinensis, the Carolina Parakeet, was the only parrot species indigenous to the United States. The Carolina parakeet was a remarkably social bird, living in vast flocks. American bird hunters reported that Carolina Parakeets would return to mourn dead members of the flock, making themselves easy targets. Considered a pest, popular in the pet trade, and bearing plumes feathers valued for hats, this species was hunted to extinction around the beginning of the 1900's.
