New Zealand Kaka
Nestor meridionalis (Gmelin, JF 1788)
The kākā is a large species of parrot of the family Nestoridae found in native forests of New Zealand. Two subspecies are recognised. It is endangered and has disappeared from much of its former range, though conservation efforts mean it is now increasingly common across Wellington. Source: Wikipedia
