Of the nine species in the New Zealand parrot superfamily Strigopoidea, the Norfolk kākā [1] [2] and Chatham kākā [3] became extinct in recent history.

Kahikatea is a coniferous tree reaching a height of 50–65 m (164–213 ft), making it the tallest New Zealand tree, [3] with a trunk 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) through. It has a 600 year life span and gains maturity after between 250 and 450 years. [4] Near the base of the tree, the roots are typically buttressed and grooved.
They are small deciduous trees, typically 5–15 m tall, rarely to 20 m tall, fast-growing when young but soon slowing down with age, and often short-lived; they typically occur as understorey trees in mountain forests, often along streamsides.
