New Zealand kaka

The New Zealand kaka, also known as kākā, (''Nestor meridionalis'') is a large species of parrot of the superfamily Strigopoidea found in native forests of New Zealand. Two subspecies are recognised. It is endangered and has disappeared from much of its former range.
==Taxonomy and naming==
The New Zealand kaka was described by German naturalist Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788. There are two subspecies, the North Island kākā, ''Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis'', and the South Island kākā, ''N. m. meridionalis''. The name kākā is a Māori language word meaning "parrot", possibly related to ''kā'', 'to screech'.
The genus ''Nestor'' contains four species: the New Zealand kaka (''Nestor meridionalis''), the kea (''N. notabilis''), the extinct Norfolk kaka (''N. productus''), and the extinct Chatham kaka (''N.'' sp.). All four are thought to stem from a "proto-kākā", dwelling in the forests of New Zealand five million years ago. Their closest relative is the kakapo (''Strigops habroptila'').〔〔〔Juniper, T., Parr, M. (1998) Parrots: A guide to parrots of the world. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press (ISBN 0-300-07453-0)〕 Together, they form the parrot family Strigopidae, an ancient group that split off from all other Psittacidae before their radiation.〔〔〔
