Malherbe's parakeet is a small parrot endemic to New Zealand, where it is known as the orange-fronted parakeet (Māori: kākāriki karaka) or orange-fronted kākāriki. In the rest of the world it is called Malherbe's parakeet, as when it was recognised as a species, the name "orange-fronted parakeet" was already used for Eupsittula canicularis, a Central American species.[4] Restricted to a few valleys in the South Island and four offshore islands, its population declined to around 200 in the 1990s, and it is considered critically endangered by the IUCN.
