<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="coracopsis-nigra"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Fossil material of the lesser vasa parrot Coracopsis nigra from Madagascar documents the subfossil presence of this endemic Malagasy psittacid. Vasa parrots represent an ancient lineage within Psittaciformes unique to Madagascar and the Comoros. Their subfossil record helps reconstruct historical avifaunal changes in Madagascar following human colonisation approximately 2,000 years ago.
