What day of the week did a Finnish children's TV show shown from 1961 to 1968 about brids also known as psittacines of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes?
Parrot Parrots, also known as psittacines , are birds of the roughly 393 species in 92 genera that make up the order Psittaciformes, found in most tropical and subtropical regions. The order is subdivided into three superfamilies: the Psittacoidea ("true" parrots), the Cacatuoidea (cockatoos), and the Strigopoidea (New Zealand parrots). Parrots have a generally pantropical distribution with several species inhabiting temperate regions in the Southern Hemisphere, as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is in South America and Australasia.
New Zealand parrot The New Zealand parrot superfamily (Strigopoidea) consists of three genera of parrots, "Nestor", "Strigops", and the fossil "Nelepsittacus". The genus "Nestor" consists of the kea, kaka, Norfolk Island kaka and Chatham Island kaka, while the genus "Strigops" contains the iconic "kākāpō". All extant species are endemic to New Zealand. The species of the genus "Nelepsittacus" were endemics of the main islands, while the two extinct species of the genus "Nestor" were found at the nearby oceanic islands such as Chatham Island of New Zealand, and Norfolk Island and adjacent Phillip Island. The modern common species names, "kea, kākā", and "kākāpō", are the same as the original Māori names.
