Which is the world's only flightless parrot?

They can live up to 80 years. They have been looking after them and relocating onto islands where there are no predators like stoats, feral cats or dogs. They are slowly starting to recover.

I lived, traveled, and taught in New Zealand for a year but only saw a kakapo in a zoo there.

love a Kakapo..... really cute birds too, though I've never seen one only on the TV

Douglas Adams wrote about them in his book "Last Chance To See." He got to visit their island sanctuary. Highly recommend this book.

Player AJFL, I'm suitably impressed by how many places you've lived and taught in and travelled to and seen it and done it. what an extraordinary life you've lived. Very impressive very impressive. I'm impressed 👏

of course it's critically endangered. I'm surprised there are any left - the way that man destroys any creature that can't defend itself, and many that try.

too fat to fly,me too!

The first hearing about them!

🫠lovely birds - saw several nice documentaries on them

Gorgeous looking birds saw a documentary about them years ago about them being critically endangered glad to hear that the population is rising 😀
