The upcoming Natural History and Taxidermy Sale on 22nd April will see a very rare specimen of an extinct Carolina Parakeet go under the hammer with an estimate of £15,000 to 25,000 (plus buyer’s premium). The Carolina Parakeet was one of only three native parrots to the North America and were thought to have been poisonous. The species was declared extinct in 1939 following a collapse of their habitat with settlement in the 19th century and the clearing of forests. The specimen is part of a small display of birds native to North and South America, made circa 1880-1900.
