The once abundant Carolina Parakeet was a gregarious bird. They would form large, noisy flocks that fed on cultivated fruits and grains. They would tear apart an apple to get to the seeds, wreck havoc in the grain fields, and strip a corncob of its kernels. Determined to protect their crops, farmers killed them in droves. It was no big deal. The pesky parakeets were plentiful. Some flocks even numbered in the thousands.
