What is a kākāpō?

New Zealand’s kākāpō (pronounced ‘car-car-paw’) is critically endangered flightless parrot – there are fewer than 200 birds left. The kākāpō evolved in isolation, so it is not closely related to other parrots and has unique characteristics. The kākāpō is the heaviest parrot in the world. Kākāpō males weigh up to 3.7 kg and females up to 2.2 kg. They are the world’s only flightless and nocturnal parrot. They can possibly live up to 90 years – making it perhaps the world’s longest-lived bird. The kākāpō lives in dense native forest. With its owl-like facial features and mossy green feathers, it relies on camouflage for defence. But its strong musty smell often gives it away, making it vulnerable to feral cats, rats and stoats.
