about

I was introduced to the Kakapo by David Attenborough. He was telling a story of a lone male calling away before eventually dying without finding a mate and it was such a typically sad story of extinction. But amazingly this story had a twist, a tiny surviving population of these birds was discovered and ever since I learnt this I've followed the huge effort New Zealand continues to make to support the revival of these animals. There are so many things to love about the Kakapo, first of course the birds' amazing sounds, their incredible boom and the chilling shrieks, the fact they are the world's only flightless parrot, but also the amazing urge to rescue they have brought out in so many people. Today's population of 126 birds or so birds is maintained by a host of scientists and volunteers all year round. It is sad that their survival requires such an effort, but it is nice to see we are doing everything we can to see that this happens.
