The name vasa parrot is also used for the greater vasa parrot. The vasa parrots that form the genus Coracopsis are four species of parrot in the parrot family Psittrichasiidae that are endemic to Madagascar and other islands in the western Indian Ocean. Some taxonomists formerly placed the species in the genus in Mascarinus, but this is now thought to be based on the results of a heavily flawed, later-debunked genetic study.
