Where Are Parakeets Native To. The carolina parakeet is an extinct species of small green parrot native to the eastern, midwest and plains states of the united states. As an adult, the bird measures 16 inches in length and weighs less than 4 ounces.
They don't migrate and live in a wide variety of habitats. The parakeets we know and recognize in our pet stores are larger than those found in the wild since they have gone through many years of breeding in captivity. None of the parrots occurring in florida today are native.
