The kākā is a large, forest-dwelling parrot native to New Zealand. Known for its vibrant green and red plumage, this bird is a member of the Nestor genus, which includes other unique parrots like the kea. Kākās are social creatures, often found in flocks, and are known for their playful behavior and strong vocalizations. Kākās primarily feed on fruits, seeds, and flowers, using their strong beaks to access food. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by helping to disperse seeds. Unfortunately, kākās face threats from habitat loss and introduced predators, making conservation efforts essential for their survival.
