Lord Howe parakeet (SciiFii)

The Lord Howe parakeet (Cyanoramphus subflavescens), also known as the Lord Howe red-fronted parakeet, is a species of parrot endemic to Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea, part of New South Wales, Australia. It was once extinct since the mid-1800s, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Lord Howe Island to help boost biodiversity. The Lord Howe parakeet is a forest-dwelling species and is a herbivore that primarily feeds on seeds, nuts, and fruits. The conservation status of the Lord Howe parakeet is Vulnerable due to some habitat loss and, historically, poaching and invasive species, however, thanks to conservationists, the invasive species on the island of Lord Howe Island have been eradicated, thus the natives like Lord Howe parakeets are recovering.
