Guys - I'm a New Zealander through and through who has grown up with parrots. On the very rare occasion, I've seen a kakariki in an aviary, usually showcasing native species. Very very rarely (maybe once every 4 years) they maaaay be available on the pet market. Small country, significant biosecurity rules...the pet market ain't that big. I'm not missing them. And yet they keep coming up on the forums!
So what's the go? I'd expect RB2's to be more common in Aussie, Macaws to be more accessible in the states...am I missing a beat here?
Here's the DOC page on the kakariki, for anyone interested...
