The last known individual of the Norfolk Kākā died in its cage in London sometime after 1851,^[4] and only between seven^[5] and 20^[6] skins survive. The Chatham Kākā became extinct in pre-European times, after Polynesians settled the island, between 1550 and 1700, and is only known from subfossil bones.^[3] Of the surviving species, the kākāpō is critically endangered,^[7][8] with living individuals numbering only 246 (as of 2024)^[9]. The mainland kākā is listed as endangered,^[10][11] and the kea is listed as vulnerable.^[12][13] The Nestoridae genus Nelepsittacus consists of four extinct species.
