FIGURE 18 in Reappraisal of the parrots (Aves: Psittacidae) from the Mascarene Islands, with comments on their ecology, morphology, and affinities
FIGURE 18. Map of the Indian Ocean and a possible route used by parrots (blue) in order to reach the Mascarene Islands. A number of islands, seamounts and atolls are situated along the Indian Ocean ridge, which may have provided a series of island stepping stones. Black outline illustrates the present range of Psittacula eupatria (based on Forshaw 1989: 355), a possible founding species for all Mascarene species of Psittacula.

FIGURE 9 in Reappraisal of the parrots (Aves: Psittacidae) from the Mascarene Islands, with comments on their ecology, morphology, and affinities
FIGURE 9. An enigmatic skin of Psittacula RMS missing its tail, supposedly representing Psittacula eques held at RMS. This specimen is labelled 'Plate 39' from Buffon's planche elumineé (1779), the same plate number of Psittacula eques (see Systematic Palaeontology), from which the species was described. This may be the one and same specimen (see Jones 1987), or that the label refers to a Mauritius specimen, as these two populations were considered conspecific.
FIGURE 11 in Reappraisal of the parrots (Aves: Psittacidae) from the Mascarene Islands, with comments on their ecology, morphology, and affinities
FIGURE 11. Psittacula exsul (Jossigny in Oustalet, 1897). These illustrations by Jossigny c.1770 are the only known depictions of a live bird (Hume & Prys-Jones 2005).

One bird was captured and made to call out, which subsequently attracted other parrots, and an entire flock could be taken by the hunters.

Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus feeding on palm fruit regurgitated by cattle. The cattle do not swallow the seeds but expel them after rumination. The macaws are attracted to this source of food. Photo courtesy of Carlos Yamashita. Note the kinetics of the rostrum and mandible during manipulation of food and the similar bigheadiness and bill morphologies between this species and Lophopsittacus mauritianus.
