    Thanks for the lensroll -- I have lensrolled this page to my extinct birds lens. Nice job! If we can inform enough people we can hopefully prevent the extinction of more birds.

    I never realized that there was a native parakeet here in North America. Here in Florida we have ferral populations of green parakeets. I love to hear them calling as they fly overhead. How sad that the Carolina parakeet no longer exists.

    How sad it is that a whole species is gone forever and that people did it on purpose. Bird conservation is not really that difficult. We shouldn't let it happen again.

    Excellent lens. I love parakeets. We have thousands of them in the parks of West London and they are spreading across the country (offspring of escapees). Despite being from India they love the mild climate here in southern England. When it cools down in the evening hundreds of them fly past my window to roost in my garden. They aren't quite as pretty as the Carolina Parakeet.

    I am so sorry. This is a tragedy.

    A great lens to focus the problem and have a solution evolve from it.

    Great tribute. Like Margo said, it's too bad they couldn't find a way to protect their crops without killing off the birds.

    Well, this is sad. Too bad they couldn't think of a way to save them and the crops. *****

    Welcome to the Naturally Native Squids group. Don't forget to add your lens links to the appropriate plexos and vote for them.

    This is such a beautiful bird -- rather like a miniature parrot. Grandma Julia Nagy had two parakeets -- one that looked rather like this and a blue one. The green one would fly to her shoulder and take a cracker out of her mouth. It also talked!

    I am so glad you did this lens. I have heard many stories about the Carolina Parakeet and there is some hand stitched ones at our Woodburn Historic Home in Pendleton. They are beautiful. 5* and hope you have a very Happy Birthday!
