It’s a wonder this bird has survived this long!!

Discovery.........this is EXACTLY what people have been desiring the most from you as a channel and a company, more documentaries None of this "Moonshiner", "Amish Mafia", or other reality show stuff, we need more of the stuff that LITERALLY GAVE your channel your name in the first place, documentaries and edutainment

The video one of them trying to mate with stephen fry's head is both adorable and sad.

These so pleasing! Saving this beast is a fine goal.

God dam I found my spirit animal 🤣
-
Still wondering how this thunderous bird call sounds like
-
Nooo, their my favorite bird.. I hope we can help them!
-
My parrot cries when watching this😂

They seem adorable. Could some be taken into captivity for breeding. Would that work? Can they be taught to talk?
-
It breaks my heart to see videos like this as most species are nearly extinct now so by the time another 20-30yrs goes by I'll not be surprised if we've lost another few thousand animals, 💔😭 most Countries done even have laws for animal abuse so all types of animals just roaming & we see them more often now trying to eat & live just like us, Please help Any animal in anyway you can so our great grandkids can see them in life not in pictures like Dinosaurs, keep up the Amazing work your doing. X😎🐘

Galloping parrots, Batman!
-
So beautiful
-
We really need to save this!
-
the mere fact that a bird that small is so loud makes it worthy of preservation
-
Parrot + Owl = KAKAPO
-
You should bring them to the states.
-
Surprised everyone don't have these as pets.

Surely there's multiple islands that are the perfect habitat for this bird? Islands free from predators that would allow this bird to reach stable numbers. Even if it meant clearing habits of predators of this bird, surely that's a small price to pay 😕
