Description: | The kakapo is a large nocturnal parrot. It lives on the ground and feeds on grasses and seeds. This strange bird was once common in New Zealand, but humans and introduced predators greatly reduced the population and there are now only 86 birds left, living on a few small offshore islands. A breeding programme is underway to try to save them from extinction.
