Kaka

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.

The Kaka is classified as Endangered (EN), considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
