Guadeloupe parakeet


The Guadeloupe parakeet might have been a species of parrot that was endemic to Guadeloupe.

Jean-Baptiste Labat described a population of small parrots living on Guadeloupe:
They were later named Conurus labati, and are now called the Guadeloupe parakeet. It has been postulated to be a separate species based on little evidence. There are no specimens or remains of the extinct parrots. Their taxonomy may never be fully elucidated, and so their postulated status as a separate species is hypothetical.It is presumed to have gone extinct in the late 18th century, if it did indeed exist.
