Nothing could be finer than to spot a Carolina some fine morning.

The Carolina parakeet was the only parrot native to the east of North America.

Like the dodo, the poor parakeet, pictured on its permanent perch in London's Natural History Museum, is now extinct.

Okay, so this stuffed dodo from London's Natural History Museum is no parrot.

And he's no oil painting either.

But he does go to show what could happen to some of our poor parrots if we do not look after them, and their habitats.

That's right. They'd be stuffed.

Extinct.

And forced to live in England.

Poor dodo.
