The "Carolina Parrot," also known as the "Carolina Parakeet," is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, an eminent American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. This artwork is part of Audubon's magnum opus, "The Birds of America," a monumental series of hand-colored prints that depict a wide array of bird species native to the United States. Published between 1827 and 1838, "The Birds of America" is celebrated for its life-sized representations and intricate detail, making it a cornerstone in the field of ornithological illustration.

The "Carolina Parrot" illustration captures the vibrant and now-extinct species, Conuropsis carolinensis, which was the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. Audubon's depiction is renowned for its accuracy and vividness, showcasing the bird's bright green plumage, yellow head, and orange face. The illustration typically features the birds in dynamic poses, often interacting with their natural habitat, which includes elements like branches and foliage, reflecting Audubon's commitment to portraying birds in lifelike and natural settings.

Audubon’s work on the "Carolina Parrot" is not only an artistic achievement but also a valuable historical record. The species was declared extinct in the early 20th century, largely due to habitat destruction and hunting. Audubon’s illustration remains one of the few visual records of the Carolina Parakeet, providing insight into the appearance and behavior of this lost species.

The "Carolina Parrot" illustration, like many others in "The Birds of America," was created using a combination of watercolor, pastel, and ink, and was later engraved and hand-colored by skilled artisans. This meticulous process ensured that each print was a faithful reproduction of Audubon's original artwork. Today, "The Birds of America" and its individual illustrations, including the "Carolina Parrot," are highly prized by collectors and institutions, and continue to be studied and admired for their scientific and artistic significance.
