  • The last parrots native to the United States dies in Cincinnati Zoo. Carolina parrots once flew the skies from Florida to Maryland, Mississippi and Missouri river valleys down through Texas. With a diet of primarly cockleburs, through the years, farmers killed the cockleburs. When the parrots switched to seeds inside fruit (discarding the fruit pulp) the farmers killed the parrots. The last wild parrots died in Florida in 1904. The first of the Cincinnati Zoo parrots, the female, died during the summer of 1917. The male remained “listless and mournful”, dieing about six months later.
