Abstract:
Many of the early voyagers and explorers, dating back to Thomas Hariot in 1588, reported sightings of parrots or parakeets in the Carolinas. McKinley discusses these early reports of the Carolina parakeet in North and South Carolina and what happened to it in later centuries.
Abstract:
The Carolina Parakeet was the only parrot species, whose range was entirely north of the Mexican border. Despite the name, Florida and the lower Mississippi region were the true population centers for this bird. The species was declared extinct tin 1939.
