 Contrary to Feuilley 's claims , Dubois mentioned that the Mascarene parrot was not edible which may have led to Réunion visitors mostly ignoring it . It was the last of the indigenous parrots of Réunion to become extinct . The only endemic bird species on Réunion that disappeared after the Mascarene parrot was the hoopoe starling in the mid @-@ 19th century .
