The Carolina Parakeet would reportedly return to the hunting sites to mourn the loss of their flock members, making them easy returning targets for human hunters.

IThe Carolina Parakeet t in binocular vision, but it was just a little squarish spot in the middle, when they turned their eyes forward, generally when feeding. Otherwise it was that side by side big eyed vison of the whole world around them. Also, looking up, watching for hawks.

I've yet to have a dream about the Carolina Parakeet. I'm going to try to see if I can bring that about. The best strategy I have from past experience is to "put it in the cue."
Like this: I want to dream about the Carolina Parakeet soon.

A flash of green fire drops to the riverbank: Carolina parakeets tear cockleburs no other creature can stomach. Upside down on stems, chattering triumphantly, sovereign over poison. A toxic plant becomes their feast, their vanished signature on the land.

The diet of the Carolina Parakeet was so varied. For instance, the CP loved grapes. This gives me a flash of a vision of flocks of CP enjoying grapes. This is for some reason impossibly cute to me, and I realize how my idea of the CP has completely turned around in just a week.

Their two color morphs of the Carolina Parakeet (“lutino” and “green-backed”) were not male/female but behaved like two tribal castes!
Evidence from 19th-century showed flocks breaking down by coloration, and some regions saw only one color form for decades. No one knows why. ❤️

Turns out the Carolina Parakeet was a chaos-gourmet.
Favorite food: thistle seeds.
Fields we avoid? They dove right in—little green lanterns chomping merrily.
Chomp chomp chomp.
Nature has a sense of humor.

Today I am thankful for the Carolina Parakeet.
The last known wild specimen was killed in Okeechobee County, Florida, in 1904, and the last captive bird died at the Cincinnati Zoo on February 21, 1918.

I did say this adoption process would be easy and in fact, it is. 7 days i have an image in mind of a big friendly Carolina Parakeet hanging with me,
It seems thankful that someone finally decided to pay just friendly attention. Seems vulnerable and ill-confident.

Someone asked me today if the Carolina Parakeet's flocking behavior meant they all turned together when flying. I think it means yes they all turned together, but some could pare off. Will have to resolve focus further on flocking behavior.

Paradise wasn’t a garden.
Paradise was a fully staffed intelligence system—
species as processors, Dreamtime as the OS.
Extinction broke the network.
