Réunion Parakeet Colouring Page

Réunion Parakeet (Psittacula eques eques). Country of origin: Réunion, now an overseas department of France. Extinction: The last recorded green parakeets were reported in 1732; the final extinction date is unknown. Cause: Hunting and introduced predators are suspected, with habitat change also contributing to the island bird losses. Special characteristics: The long pointed tail, stout bill and neck ring are characteristic features of this parakeet. How to Colour: Try fresh green feathers, a reddish bill and a thin dark neck ring for a male. Use a lighter green on the chest and smooth strokes along the long pointed tail.
