The Carolina Parakeet (''Conuropsis carolinensis'') from "Birds of America" is a notable illustration by the renowned naturalist and painter John James Audubon, created as part of his ambitious and influential series of life-sized prints in the 19th century. The work, completed in 1829, depicts the now-extinct Carolina parakeet, which was the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. Audubon's depiction is both scientifically significant and artistically compelling, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to portraying birds in their natural habitats.

In "Birds of America," the Carolina Parakeet is presented in a vibrant and dynamic composition, reflecting Audubon's characteristic style that often captured the vitality and movement of his avian subjects. The illustration features a small group of these colorful birds, with their bright green plumage and orange-yellow heads, engaging in social behavior amidst a backdrop of the plants and trees that were part of their natural environment.

Audubon's work on the Carolina Parakeet is particularly poignant given the bird's eventual extinction in the early 20th century. The species suffered from habitat destruction, hunting for their feathers, and disease. Audubon's illustration serves as a lasting tribute to the beauty and diversity of North America's avian life, as well as a somber reminder of the fragility of ecosystems and the impact of human activity on wildlife.

"Birds of America" was a monumental achievement in ornithological illustration and is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon's life-sized watercolors were reproduced through the complex technique of hand-engraved plates and printed between 1827 and 1838. The Carolina Parakeet, like the other illustrations in the series, contributed to the 19th-century understanding of American bird species and remains an important historical and artistic record of a species lost to time.
