The New Zealand parrot family, '''Nestoridae''' consists of nine species in two genera. Only two species in the genus ''[[Nestor (genus)|Nestor]]'', the [[New Zealand kaka]], ''N. merdionalis'', and the [[kea]], ''N. notabilis'', are still extant. The various species of the second described genus, ''[[Nelepsittacus]]'', are all known as fossils from the early Miocene [[Saint Bathans Fauna]] in the Lower Bannockburn Formation in Otago in New Zealand. |
