About These Birds
Perruche des Antipodes
The Antipodes Parakeet is a large, all-green parakeet endemic to New Zealand's Antipodes Islands, weighing about 148 grams with a wingspan near 28 cm. It is one of the southernmost parakeets in the world, surviving in a harsh subantarctic environment. This vulnerable species is known for its omnivorous diet, including burrowing petrel chicks.
Perruche de Tahiti
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.
