The Carolina Parakeet is an extinct species of bird. It is mostly green with a yellow head and orange cheeks. The Carolina Parakeet inhabited deciduous forests and forest edges in the eastern United States as far north as the Great Lakes region, as well as wooded river bottoms of the Great Plains as far west as Nebraska. It nested in tree cavities and ate the fruits and seeds of many trees and other plants.

The Kiwi Bird is a rare species of bird. They call it the Kiwi because of its skin. It looks like a kiwi. The kiwi bird is the only bird species that has its nostrils on the end of its beak. The beak is about 1/3 the length of their body. It is extremely sensitive to touch. They have wings but they don’t have any muscle which is why they don’t fly. The wings blend in so well to their feathers that you have to look closely to see that they have them. They have a roundish body like a chicken. They have claw like feet that are very sharp and they use them for protection when necessary. They also use them to dig for food. They can live up to 20 years old. Kiwi birds are usually a black or brown color.
