lovely to see a native bird in the forest.
South Island Kaka subspecies (Nestor Meridionalis Meridionalis). Lovely bird.
Fantastic!
Spotting of the Day!

This is incredible, Lori. Wow!
"Brown" seems like a funny color for a parrot, until you see them in their environment, and then they fit right in.
Wonderful photo!
