==Species==
There are two [[extant taxon|surviving]] species and at least one well documented extinct species in the genus ''Nestor''. Very little is known about the fourth, the Chatham kākā, which may have been conspecific with another kaka species.

* [[Kea]], ''Nestor notabilis''
* [[Kākā]], ''Nestor meridionalis''
** North Island kākā, ''Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis''
** South Island kākā, ''Nestor meridionalis meridionalis''
* †[[Norfolk kākā]], ''Nestor productus'' (extinct)
* †[[Chatham kākā]], ''Nestor chathamensis'' (extinct)
