The habitat and the history of the distribution and status of the orange-fronted parakeet Cyanoramphus malherbi have been appraised. Never common, it occurred in most districts of the South Island and Stewart Island and, now rare, it seems confined to mid- and north-west Nelson. It favours forest at about 2,000– 2,500 feet above sea level but has been reported from higher altitudes.
