"Carolina Parrot" (also known as "Carolina Parakeet") is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter, renowned for his detailed and vivid depictions of American birds in their natural habitats. This artwork is part of Audubon's seminal work, "The Birds of America," published as a series in sections between 1827 and 1838. "The Birds of America" is celebrated for its life-size watercolors of North American birds, and it remains one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.

The "Carolina Parrot" illustration showcases the Carolina parakeet, Conuropsis carolinensis, which was the only parrot species native to the eastern United States. Audubon's depiction is both scientifically accurate and artistically vibrant, capturing the bright green body, yellow head, and red around the eyes of the bird, which reflects Audubon's skill in rendering the beauty and diversity of American avifauna. The artwork not only highlights the bird's striking colors but also its social nature, as depicted by Audubon with multiple individuals, emphasizing the communal and gregarious behavior of the species.

Unfortunately, the Carolina parakeet, much like the artwork that immortalizes it, holds a place in history marked by both beauty and tragedy. The species was declared extinct in the early 20th century due to habitat destruction, hunting, and the pet trade. Audubon's illustration, therefore, serves not only as a testament to his talent and dedication to documenting American wildlife but also as a poignant reminder of the fragility of biodiversity and the consequences of human activity on the natural world.

"Carolina Parrot" is admired not only for its aesthetic and scientific value but also for its historical significance, representing a lost species that once thrived in the American landscape. The artwork is a critical piece of Audubon's legacy, encapsulating his passion for ornithology and conservation. It continues to be celebrated in collections, exhibitions, and publications, inspiring both art lovers and conservationists alike.
