The Kakapo is a native bird to New Zealand. NZ is their home. Kakapo are a parrot and they also cannot fly, even if they tried!

Kakapo are nocturnal. But sometimes they wake up before sunset. Kakapo were once one of the most successful abundant herbivores in New Zealand.

The Kakapo have, black beady eyes, shades of light green and dark green and a mix of light and dark brown. The Kakapo has whiskers to help feel its way through the dark.

Kakapo are sometimes caught during moonlight shaking a tree or bush until they fall to the ground.

The weight of a Kakapo is 4 kilos. They say that the Kakapo is one of the heaviest birds. The Kakapo is too short and too heavy to be airborne so instead it climbs trees.

The favourite food of a Kakapo is the seeds of a Rimu tree. Kakapo only breed when the Rimu trees produce a bump of crops. Kakapo breed slower than any other bird!

               Did you know,
That Kakapo live longer they sometimes live
         More than 100 years old!
