Genus Conuropsis refers to a group of extinct parrots that were once common in North America. While the name itself is unique to this specific group of birds, there are several synonyms that have been used interchangeably to describe them. These include the Carolina Parakeet, the Conuropsis Parakeet, and the Quaker Parakeet. These synonyms all refer to the same group of birds and are used to differentiate them from other parrot species. Although the Genus Conuropsis has been extinct for over a century, its impact on North American ecology and culture remains important today.
