About These Birds
Australian Ringneck
The Australian Ringneck is a long-tailed parrot found in woodland and scrubland across most of mainland Australia. Weighing about 140.3g with a wingspan of 33.8cm, it has green plumage with a yellow collar band and variable head colors across its subspecies. It feeds on seeds, fruit, and blossoms in trees and on the ground.
Black-fronted Parakeet
The Black-fronted Parakeet was a small, extinct parrot endemic to Tahiti in French Polynesia, characterized by green plumage with a distinctive black forehead and a red crown patch. It inhabited Tahiti's forests and was last recorded in the late 19th century, driven to extinction by introduced rats, cats, and habitat destruction. No specimens exist in wild, and the species is known only from museum skins and historical accounts.
