The Guadeloupe parakeet (Psittacara labati) is an extinct hypothetical species of parrot that would have been endemic to Guadeloupe.
Description[]
Jean-Baptiste Labat described a population of small parrots living on Guadeloupe:
Those of Guadaloupe are about the size of a blackbird, entirely green, except a few small red feathers, which they have on their head. Their bill is white. They are very gentle, loving, and learn to speak easily.
Taxonomy[]
They were later named Conurus labati, and are now called the Guadeloupe parakeet. It has been postulated to be a separate species based on little evidence. There are no specimens or remains of the extinct parrots. Their taxonomy may never be fully elucidated, and so their postulated status as a separate species is hypothetical. It is presumed to have gone extinct in the late 18th century, if it did indeed exist.
