Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis). Country of origin: the eastern and central United States. Extinction: The last known captive bird died in 1918; the exact disappearance of the wild population is less certain. Cause: Forest clearance, persecution as a crop pest and trapping contributed; the final cause of its rapid collapse remains debated. Special characteristics: This small parrot had a stout hooked bill, a long pointed tail and a vividly coloured head. How to Colour: Use green on the body, yellow on the head, orange on the forehead and pale horn tones on the bill. Follow the pointed tail feathers with long strokes.
