The last captive Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) died at the Cincinnati Zoo 96 years ago, on February 21, 1918.
The Carolina Parakeet was the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. It went extinct presumably due to habitat loss and persecution by humans.
This specimen from the Smithsonian Division of Birds collection was one of the last surviving birds. It was born in captivity in 1902.
