"Carolina Parrot" (also known as "Carolina Parakeet") is a notable illustration by the French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon. This artwork is part of his seminal work, "The Birds of America," which is a collection of life-sized watercolors of North American birds, published as a series in sections between 1827 and 1838. The illustration depicts the now-extinct Carolina parakeet, Conuropsis carolinensis, which was the only indigenous parrot species in the eastern United States.

Audubon's depiction of the Carolina parakeet is both scientifically significant and artistically compelling. The image features a small group of these colorful birds in a naturalistic setting, showcasing their vibrant green and yellow plumage with touches of orange on the heads. Audubon's attention to detail and his commitment to portraying birds in their natural habitats are evident in this work. He often portrayed the birds in dynamic poses and interacting with their environment, which was a departure from the more static and traditional representations of the time.

The Carolina Parrot illustration is not only a testament to Audubon's skill as an artist but also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of species and the impact of human activity on the environment. The Carolina parakeet was declared extinct in the early 20th century due to a combination of habitat destruction, hunting for feathers for the millinery trade, and disease. Audubon's work, therefore, provides a valuable historical record of this lost species and contributes to the understanding of America's natural heritage.

As part of "The Birds of America," the Carolina Parrot holds a place of distinction within the corpus of natural history art. The original edition of Audubon's work is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed, with only 120 complete sets known to exist as of the early 21st century. The Carolina Parrot, along with the other illustrations in the collection, has had a lasting influence on wildlife art and continues to be celebrated for its combination of artistic beauty and scientific accuracy.
