 Mauritius Parakeet
The Mauritius Parakeet (Psittacula echo) is the sole survivor of the Psittacula species which inhabited the Southern Indian ocean islands near Madagascar.
The Echo appears to be a strictly arboreal forager, nesting in natural cavities in native trees, and differs from the Rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) in its larger and bulkier body shape, shorter wings and tail, and more raucous call.
Its scientific name is possibly Psittacula eques echo because a similar bird was reported to have existed on nearby Réunion and could be considered the nominate subspecies of the extant Mauritius parakeet as it was described earlier (BirdLife International, 2006).
