The conquered lorikeet (Vini vidivici) is a species of parrot that became extinct 700–1300 years ago. It lived in islands of Polynesia. David Steadman and Marie Zarriello wrote its species description in 1987.
It was discovered in the oldest archaeological layer of 1000 AD and not recorded after 1200 AD.[2]
