About These Birds

Tahiti-Laufsittich

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.
