Black-fronted parakeet (SciiFii)

The black-fronted parakeet or Tahiti parakeet (Cyanoramphus zealandicus) is a species of parakeet native to the Pacific island of Tahiti. It was once extinct since the mid-1800s, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and reintroduced to Tahiti to help boost biodiversity. The black-fronted parakeet is a forest-dwelling species and is a herbivore that primarily feeds on seeds, nuts, and fruits. The conservation status of the black-fronted 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 Tahiti have been eradicated, thus the natives like black-fronted parakeets are recovering.
