Kaka parrots (Nestor meridionalis), illustration. This parrot is native to the North Island of New Zealand and inhabits mid-altitude forests. It feeds on berries, seeds, flowers, nectar, buds, and invertebrates. This species is in decline due to the loss of natural forest habitat and introduced predators such as stoats. Photographed in the Pukaha Mount Bruce Wildlife Centre, North Island, New Zealand. From The royal natural history Volume IV edited by Richard Lydekker, published in 1895.
