Most parrots are colourful and fly in noisy flocks, but New Zealand's kakapo breaks all the rules. It's been called the strangest and heaviest parrot in the world. With only 154 kakapo left, a team of researchers is attempting to preserve this dying lineage in a race against the clock.

    I know it's a parrot, but that thumbnail looks like the Lorax.

    9:46 that might be the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!!! Omg that parrot skipping so jolly through the jungle! 😍
  • @bearyhot
    As a macaw owner, I was excited to watch this special, dedicated to the Kakapo! Bravo!

    The kakapo is an amazing animal. It is sad that they have been brought to the very edge of extinction, but fortunately there are people who are trying to save them.
  • No wonder the heaviest parrot is in New Zealand, some of the most massive birds lived there in the past. The kakapo is an interesting animal, i guess there ain't many documentaries for this animal so this is a great treat.

    Wow... I had never hear of the Kakapo before watching this. Amazing! Hope their population continues to grow, and bravo to the scientists helping them
  • @boomtao
    Not just a documentary about an exceptional bird, but a very captivating history, geology, evolution lesson as well, bringing us to different places around the world. Amazing film making!
  • @dewest5041
    Thank you for caring for these beautiful creatures 💕....I pray for their survival!
  • @connienowak298
    This is a great video representing a cooler bird. Live long and prosper, kakapo!!

    just to say.. thank you to all the archeologists, and geologists and all the other ists that VOLUNTEER their time to work on new findings. Especially when one fossil can take like months. its always so clear how much value they see in it, and thanks to them, we have so much information. those parrots are also so cute. they remind me a bit of wombats

    I cannot believe nobody has made a comment about the Stephen Fry video where the kakapo makes love to the cameraman 😂😂😂

    It looks like the Lorax from the side view. So cute! As much as i love cats and dogs, I hope no one would release any other ground predators in those conservation areas.

    I love kakapos, they're so derpy and cute 🥰. I love how they run, they look so silly it's adorable 🥰
  • I'm glad there is a new video about these, when they wait a year or two, it makes me afraid they went extinct quietly.

    They are my favorite color of moss green. Moss green reminds me of freshly cut grass on a rainy day with coffee brewing in my kitchen. I love green because it reminds me of life in the forest and relaxing on a rainy day. ☺️❤️ If I wasn't handicapped and born sick I would have been a zoologist and travel the world to study nature and I would have built a business for feeding the poor and sheltering homeless people and animals. I wanted to invent a nesting box with a built in system that record's activities of the animals that use it, when I was ten years old in 1989. I told my mom about it while we were heading to school. We use to build shelters for stray cats and rescued them. We ended up building water fountains for local businesses too. That turned into aquarium building with fountains as a tank display. She loved fish. I can speak to the fish and I taught the business owner's how to train their fish to entertain their visitors. I was a free diver for 25 years too. It costs too much for me to keep free diving so I gave it up in 2008. There's a lot of animals that have died from climate change and I witnessed part of it from 1997 to 2008. These birds are of a large list of animals that are dying out from weather changes caused by climate change and we are the cause. We move mountains and the earth needs recourses to recover but it's not going to recover because we take too much from the earth. It's sad really we have the technology and ability to help slow climate change but there's not enough people willing to do it. It's shameful.

    Thats a wild fusion of a parrot, a peasant and an owl.
  • @diane9247
    These birds have the loveliest feathers, they mimic fern fronds. And those quiet, beautiful green faces! So different to the usual garish colors of "traditional" parrots. Like everyone else here, I hope they're doing alright.💚🥬💚
  • @valdandjbetol
    When I first saw them I thought it looked like a mix of an owl and a parrot. So adorable. Please donate to the cause, and save the Kakapo ❤
