Kakapo
The Appearance
The kakapo is a flightless, large parrot. It has green and dark brown feathers all over its body. This helps the Kakapo camouflage in the forest, protecting it from predators. They have grey feet and a grey beak. The kakapo is a nocturnal bird which means they sleep during the day, and they hunt at night. The kakapo is one of the heaviest parrots in the world. It weighs 2-4 kgs.
Predators
They are endangered and there are only 154 left in New Zealand. The kakapo is almost extinct. Its predators are cats, stoats, dogs and rats. The rats eat the Kakapo’s eggs. The kakapos were put onto an island with no predators. This keeps them safe and allows them to breed, so we can have more kakapo. It is important to protect the Kakapo for future generations to see.
