Carolina Parakeet
In spite of its name, the Carolina Parakeet was native to a wide area across the North American continent, which spanned New York, Kentucky, Colorado and the Gulf of Mexico. The bird was very pretty, so human demand for its feathers contributed to its decline, but deforestation of its natural habitat really didn’t help. The last Carolina Parakeet, named Incas, died in Cincinnati Zoo in 1918. Incidentally it lived in the same cage as Martha, the last Passenger Pigeon, before her death in 1914.
