Talk:Carolina parakeet

message: I am wondering if this parakeet migrated south in the fall from areas like Ohio to overwinter in a warmer climate, or, were they year-round residents like the monk parakeets are now in Cincinnati, Chicago, and New York? Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.43.115 (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Migration?

message: What is the closest related living parrot to the Carolina Parakeet and how do we go about getting some cloning (from DNA extracted from bones that arean't even 100 years ol yet!) done on this parrot? I would love to see a cloned version introduced in our already fractured environment (at least this introduction wouldn't be TOTALLY feral- it might even help, who knows?). At least have a few clones in the zoos, this would be an EXCELLENT candidate to resurect an extinct animal. Please someone, pick up the ball and run with this (I'm too poor and only have a BA degree, otherwise, I'd try to do it!). Let us know if you start an initiative (and have a website) to get these birds flying again. THANKS!
Have there been any attempts to clone these with a closely related living parakeet? I have seen green pigeon sized parrots flying near to the Ohio River in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. I have seen them in the same area for several years in a row but there seems to be only about 5 birds in this small flock. Maybe the Carolina parrot could be cloned with these parrots (probably was monk parakeets?).
What a shameful and precious loss to our nation. I wonder what a large flock of Carolina Parrots must have sounded like and the explosion of color must had looked like when a big paddle-wheeled steam boat passed their riverbank nesting areas on the Ohio River; I hope someone admired them for their natural beauty.
:There is an excellent account of the beauty and history of this bird in Christopher Cokinos's Hope is the Thing with Feathers. Cloning from specimens of birds, alas, is likely impossible--there's just very little intact DNA left in a dried specimen. (See the discussion for Talk:Passenger Pigeon.)

message: Please define North America... According to what I know, Mexico is part of North America, same as Canada and USA. Mexico has several parrot and parakeet species.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.176.34.202 (talk) 17:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Green headed specimen 

message: I've revamped what was a starter article, in both content and organization.  It can probably be raised to something other than Start class.  Much of the original article was copyvio (cut and paste from online sources), so had to go anyway.
