Strigopidae, the New Zealand Parrots

Strigopoidea is a unique superfamily of parrots found only in New Zealand. This video explores the three living species - Kea, Kaka, and Kakapo - as well as their extinct relatives like the Nelepsittacus species and the Hercules Parrot. All pictures attributed to Animal Analytics were taken by me personally. A full description of all others can be found in the following document.
