Psittacula wardi (Seychelles parakeet)

Synonyms: Palaeornis wardi (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Seychelles parakeet (Psittacula wardi) occurred in the Indian ocean islands of the Seychelles group. It resembled the Alexandrine parakeet but was smaller and lacked the pink colour in its collar. The species is suspected to have become extinct due to intense persecution by farmers and coconut plantation owners.
