Cyanoramphus

Belongs within: Platycercini.

Cyanoramphus is a genus of small to medium-sized parakeets found in New Zealand and (at least historically) on other islands of the Pacific. Members of the genus are predominantly green, often with contrastingly coloured patches on the front of the head. The now-extinct Macquarie Island parakeet C. novaezelandiae erythrotis was once the southernmost parrot species in the world; species of this genus may still be found on other sub-Antarctic islands.
