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! 😍
  • 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.

    As a macaw owner, I was excited to watch this special, dedicated to the Kakapo! Bravo!
  • @Kampy_
    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
  • 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.

    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!
  • Thank you for caring for these beautiful creatures 💕....I pray for their survival!
  • @leek6068
    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 😂😂😂
  • This is a great video representing a cooler bird. Live long and prosper, kakapo!!
  • 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.
  • @Aurorya
    I love kakapos, they're so derpy and cute 🥰. I love how they run, they look so silly it's adorable 🥰
  • 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.
  • 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.💚🥬💚
  • I went to both islands as a child in the early eighties. Went to the forests, the geothermic mud pots, went on a helicopter to the top of a glacier, went on a boat ride through the caverns with the glow worms, chased sheep up and down a meadow outside the inn, saw a sheep herding and shearing expo, took the ferry between the islands. It was all so magical . My dad (nearly sixty when I was born) was there during WWII, he fought in the South Pacific and was stationed for awhile on the Solomon Islands. He took my mom and me to Rotorua, where he spent most his time there. We applied for citizenship; my dad was accepted, being a GI. But my mom was denied because she didn't have her bachelor's degree yet, and I was denied being a minor with neither parent being a born citizen. My dad was so angry... I wish I could be a Kiwi instead of American.☹️

    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 ❤
