The Kakapo is a rare and unique parrot which has existed in New Zealand for over 25,000 years. It has wings but does not use them. It was once plentiful but numbers reduced dramatically and it is now the subject of a successful breeding programme.
It is a large bird which hops rather than walks, and has unique breeding habits. The males set up a series of shallow bowls linked by tracks where they “boom” or call to attract females. They will only breed when there is plenty of food available.
