Conuropsis carolinensis, commonly known as the Carolina Parakeet, was a small, bright green parrot with a distinctive yellow head and orange face. Native to the southeastern United States, it inhabited old-growth forests and swamps. Known for its social behavior, it lived in noisy flocks and fed on seeds and fruits.

Conuropsis carolinensis, commonly known as the Carolina Parakeet, was native to the southeastern United States. Its geographical distribution included areas from the Ohio Valley to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the Atlantic coast to as far west as eastern Colorado.

The Carolina Parakeet inhabited a variety of environments, primarily favoring deciduous forests, wooded riverbanks, and swamplands. The species was adapted to a temperate climate, with warm summers and mild to cold winters.

The parakeet thrived in habitats with abundant tree cover, particularly those with mature cypress and sycamore trees, which provided nesting sites and food sources in the form of seeds and fruits. They played a role as seed dispersers, contributing to the health of their ecosystems.
