The Kakapo is a Unique Bird

The Kakapo is one of the rarest parrots in the world

  • It has a subsonic mating boom that can travel several kilometres
  • It's possibly the oldest living bird
  • It's the world's heaviest parrot
  • It's flightless
  • It can only be found in New Zealand
  • And that's just a few things that make the Kakapo so special..

Every year many volunteers worldwide give their time and energy trying to save the Kakapo from extinction.

Most of the Kakapo Recovery is on remote, predator free islands off southern New Zealand.
