Population status of Kaka parrot

/kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, the arrival of European immigrants completely broke the quiet life of Kaka parrot. In just a few decades, more than half of the forests were cut down, and a large number of Kaka's parrots died of hunger and cold. The remaining Kaka-pecking parrots had to steal food from crops and attack the lambs because of food shortage, so the immigrants aimed at them with shotguns. People put poison on the mutton and threw it at them, killing hundreds of Kaka-pecking parrots at a time. By the end of 1940s, 19, it was difficult to find it.

Maori will use bait birds and tree forks to trap Kaka parrots. A large number of people catch Kaka parrots, and the sharp decline of forest land in their habitat has greatly reduced the number of Kaka parrots, and now they only inhabit Stewart Island, the third largest island in New Zealand, and several big islands. The protected area on Urva Island, not far from Stewart Island, is their last refuge paradise. There are no alien species, predators and other natural enemies on the island, and the shy Kaka parrot can rebuild its own population here.
