• FAMILY CARIAMIDAE
  

  Red-Legged Seriema (Cariama cristata) Sedgwick County Zoo - 2005 St. Louis Zoo - 2022

The order of Falcons and Caracaras. As of 2024, 12 species of Falconiformes have been observed in iNaturalist in the US and 63 throughout the world.

The order of Parrots. As of 2024, 64 species of Psittaciformes have been observed in iNaturalist in the US. All but one have been introduced, likely as released pets. 395 species have been observed throughout the world.

One bird from this order of parrots, the Thick-Billed Parrot (Rhynchopsitta pachyrhyncha), has been known to occur naturally in the U.S. but hasn't been seen north of its native Mexico since the 1920's. When it was observed back then, it was in some of the same locations in which trogons can be experienced today: the southeastern mountains of Arizona.

The Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) used to be endemic to what is now the United States but was declared extinct in the 1930's.

Any parrots seen in the wild today, even in tropical Hawaii, have been introduced. The zoos in Trip 6 display a variety of birds from this order.
