The Réunion Red-and-green Parakeet or Réunion Parrot (Necropsittacus borbonicus) is a hypothetical extinct species of parrot based on descriptions of birds from the Mascarene island of Réunion. The image is entirely conjectural and shows a bird with the large-headed, massive-billed shape of the Rodrigues Parrot combined with the color pattern described by Dubois.
