CHAPTER I. 



PARROT TRIBE. Psittaci. 



The Parrots, who are a widely esteemed 

 and superb species of birds, are natives 

 of the greater portion of the world. In 

 North America we have but one kind, the 

 Carolina Parakeet, (Conurus Carolinensis^) 

 one of the most gorgeous of the whole 

 magnificent tribe. This is a native of the 

 Southern and Western States, and never 

 found naturally in the North; although 

 they are occasionally seen here when sent 

 as a present by some southern friend, or 

 brought for sale by sailors from the sea- 

 coast towns.
