The Kakapo (Māori: kākāpō, meaning night parrot), Strigops habroptilus (from the Greek strix, genitive strigos: owl and ops: face; and habros: soft, and ptilon: feather), is a species of nocturnal parrot endemic to New Zealand. It is notable for being the world's only flightless parrot, the heaviest parrot, and the only parrot to have a lek breeding system. It is also the only flightless lek bird and is possibly one of the world's longest-living birds

The kakarikis or New Zealand parakeets are the three most common species of parakeet in the genus Cyanoramphus, family Psittacidae. The birds' Maori name, which is the most commonly used, means "green", in reference to their predominant colour.

The Kea (Nestor notabilis) is a semi-nocturnal parrot endemic to the mountains of New Zealand. The Kea is the only parrot capable of living in alpine regions. The Kea is also known as the clown of the mountains, because of its playful nature. They have a reputation for tearing the rubber sealing from cars, and the Kea has also been known as the feathered wolf because of its reputation for attacking and killing farmers' livestock (predominantly sheep).
