Chatham Kaka - Ecology

Ecology

The Chatham Kaka was a forest dwelling species of about the same size as the North Island subspecies of the Kākā, Nestor meridionalis septentrionalis. It had no natural predators (it was bigger than the Kārearea, or New Zealand Falcon) and, as is often observed with such island endemics, it is believed to have been a poor flyer.
