Rodrigues parrot [2] († Necropsittacus rodricanus) - a species of extinct bird from the Eastern parrot family (Psittaculidae), endemic to the Mascarene island of Rodrigues. It is unclear what species she was most closely related to, but like other Mascarene parrots, she is placed in the Psittaculini tribe. It was similar to the Mauritian parrots (Lophopsittacus mauritianus) and was possibly related to them. Based on descriptions of parrots from other Mascarene islands, two other species (N. francicus and N. borbonicus) were also attached to the genus Necropsittacus, but their distinctiveness was questioned.
