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.

Sorry but I have to post this publicly because D.Gray Man is awesome.
We, the D.gray-man fandom, are a dying race
Nine years ago, on February 21, 2005, Nickelodeon premiered The Boy in The Iceberg and from this show, a family was born. Over the years, we have cried over leaves that fall from the vine and laughed over Melon Lords and have lived to see another Avatar born into the Water Tribe. I couldn’t think of a better family I would rather be a part of! Here’s to 9 more years of feels, everybody!
