Carolina parakeet, Conuropsis carolinensis Planner

Carolina parakeet, Conuropsis carolinensis Planner

This elegant natural history illustration depicts the now-extinct Carolina parakeet, a once-vibrant parrot native to the eastern and midwestern regions of the United States. Perched on a textured branch, the bird is shown in a dynamic pose with partially outstretched wings, highlighting the intricate layering of its plumage. Its body is primarily a rich green, subtly shaded to suggest depth and softness, while the head features a striking contrast of bright yellow and a reddish-orange face—one of the species’ most recognisable traits. This artwork comes from Histoire Naturelle des Perroquets, illustrated by the renowned French naturalist artist Jacques Barraband (1767–1809). Barraband was celebrated for his precise and lifelike depictions of birds, often working in collaboration with scientists to document species with both artistic beauty and scientific accuracy. The fine detailing in the feathers, beak, and claws reflects this dual purpose, blending aesthetics with taxonomy. The Carolina parakeet was the only parrot species endemic to the United States. It inhabited forests, swamps, and river valleys, often travelling in noisy flocks. Unfortunately, due to habitat destruction, hunting, and disease, the species declined rapidly in the 19th century, with the last known individual dying in captivity in 1918. This illustration not only captures the bird’s vivid coloration and graceful form but also serves as a historical record of a lost species. It stands as both a scientific document and a poignant reminder of the fragility of biodiversity.

The planner made it easier for me to arrange my schedule, there are enough pages for each month to add the dates yourself, and even some extra ones for short months. The quality is amazing! colors looked exactly as they did online, I even did another design similar to a friend of mine who loved it too !

originally designed this notebook a bit more blue, bigger and with a thick cover as my planner., My friend saw it and loved it and was asking if she could get one smaller, lighter in color and with a softcover, so I made this adaptation for her and she loves it !!! The colors came out so perfect, just as they looked in my computer!
