==Classification==
All four species in the genus ''Nestor'' are thought to stem from a 'proto-kaka', dwelling in the forests of New Zealand 5 million years ago.<ref name="Wright">{{Cite journal|title=A Multilocus Molecular Phylogeny of the Parrots (Psittaciformes): Support for a Gondwanan Origin during the Cretaceous|journal=Mol Biol Evol|year=2008|first1=T.F. |last1=Wright|last2=Schirtzinger |first2=E.

In 2012 Leo Joseph and collaborators proposed that the genus ''Nestor'' should be placed in its own family, Nestoridae.<ref name=joseph>{{Cite journal | last1=Joseph | first1=L. | last2=Toon | first2=A. | last3=Schirtzinger | first3=E.E. | last4=Wright | first4=T.F. | last5=Schodde | first5=R. | date=2012 | title=A revised nomenclature and classification for family-group taxa of parrots (Psittaciformes) | journal=Zootaxa | volume=3205 | issue=1 | pages=26–40 | doi=10.11646/zootaxa.3205.1.2}}</ref> This proposal has not been adopted in lists of the world birds and instead ''Nestor'' is placed with the genus ''[[Strigops]]'' in the family [[Strigopidae]].<ref name=ioc>{{cite web| editor1-last=Gill | editor1-first=Frank | editor1-link=Frank Gill (ornithologist) | editor2-last=Donsker | editor2-first=David | editor3-last=Rasmussen | editor3-first=Pamela | editor3-link=Pamela Rasmussen | date=January 2023 | title=Parrots, cockatoos | work=IOC World Bird List Version 13.1 | url=https://www.worldbirdnames.org/bow/parrots/| publisher=International Ornithologists' Union | access-date=18 June 2023}}</ref><ref>{{ cite book | editor-last1=Dickinson | editor-first1=E.C. | editor1-link=Edward C.
