KAKAPO - the largest parrot in the world

Hi friends!

Did you know it?
The kakapo is a large, nocturnal, flightless, lek-breeding parrot – a real oddity. It is also critically endangered, and the focus of considerable conservation attention.
Kakapos are moss green mottled with yellow and black above, and similar but more yellow below. The bill is grey and the legs and feet grey with pale soles.
Adult kakapo is vulnerable to predation by cats and stoats, and their eggs and chicks can be killed by rats. Females alone incubate eggs and raise chicks. As they must spend long periods away from the nest feeding, eggs and chicks are particularly vulnerable to predation when the nest is unattended.
Kakapo is nocturnal and solitary, occupying the same home range for many years. They forage on the ground and climb high into trees. They often leap from trees and flap their wings, but at best manage a controlled plummet.
They are entirely vegetarian. Their diet includes leaves, buds, flowers, fern fronds, bark, roots, rhizomes, bulbs, fruit, and seeds. Diet varies seasonally.

Have a nice day!
