John James Audubon: Carolina Parrots (1800s) Extinct Bird Giclée Print

Acquire a historical monument to a lost species with this gorgeous John James Audubon Carolina Parrots reproduction. This vibrant plate from The Birds of America immortalizes the only parrot species native to the U.S.—a bird driven to extinction in the early 20th century.

This famous illustration (Plate 26 in the original folio) is a potent reminder of the fragility of the American wilderness. Audubon depicted seven of the Carolina Parakeets (Carolina Parrots) clustered in the branches of their food source, illustrating their gregarious nature and the stunning emerald and gold of their plumage. Tragically, this very flocking behavior made them easy targets for farmers who viewed them as pests, accelerating their decline. Audubon himself noted the bird's rapid diminishing numbers, making this print a prescient historical document. It is a powerful piece of vintage ornithological art that carries profound weight, perfect for collectors, environmental advocates, and those who appreciate the intersection of 19th-century American Romanticism and the history of conservation.
