Nestoridae
The New Zealand parrot family, Nestoridae consists of nine species in two genera. Only two species in the 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.
