Why did the Carolina Parakeet become extinct?

Answer 1

The answer is simple, the Carolina Parakeet became extinct because of human intrusion into undistributed areas. Other bird species such as the Passenger Pigeon have become extinct because of the same problem. Us being the most powerful need to stop this crisis and help preserve our wildlife. It's the only Earth we have, lets keep it. Also, even though extinction is a natural process, today humans are causing extinction at a far greater rate than has EVER occurred before.

Answer 2

The Carolina Parakeet quickly disappeared wherever U.S. settlers encroached upon their habitat. People hunted Carolina parakeets for their plumage and captured them to sell as cage birds. The last known Carolina Parakeet died in 1914 in the Cincinnati Zoo.

Answer 3

The Carolina paroquet was the only native member of the parrot family in North America. A denizen of deep forests, it was considered an agricultural pest, and was hunted to extinction. A few survived until around 1920, when Frank Chapman saw 13 birds in a Florida swamp. That was the last documented evidence of this parrot.
