New Zealand Kaka

New Zealand Kaka (Nestor meridionalis)

The New Zealand Kaka is an endangered parrot species in the Nestor family of parrots. The Kea (Nestor notabilis) can be seen at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Washington. I'll be bringing you a post all about it in the future.
 The Kaka has two subspecies, the North Island Kaka (Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis) and the South Island Kaka (Nestor meridionalis meriodionalis).
The Kaka lives in lowland and mid-altitude forests.
 They are a very rare bird indeed, and I am happy to be able to have them here in My Zoo!
To my knowledge, there are no zoo's that house the New Zealand Kaka.

Zoos where they can be seen in:
There are no zoos anywhere in the world to view these birds.
