Raiatea Parakeet
Cyanoramphus ulietanus (Gmelin, JF, 1788)
Psittaculidae — Old World Parrots
Raiatea Parakeet, Cyanoramphus ulietanus, is an extinct parakeet of the Old World Parrots family that lived on Raiatea in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. It was confined to that island, where it was probably associated with forest. The bird is known from only two museum specimens, held in London and Vienna. It was first described in 1788, and it is thought to have disappeared soon after its discovery in 1773.
