Psittacula wardi was endemic to Mahé and Silhouette, Seychelles, with a sight record from Praslin2. It was already rare when described in 1867, the last specimens were collected by Warry in 1881, and the last birds recorded in captivity (on Silhouette) in 18832. The species was extinct by 1906 when Nicoll visited the islands2. At least ten specimens exist1.
