Tha Kakapo. New Zealands most endangered bird!!!

The Remarkable Kakapo The ancient, flightless Kakapo is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable birds in the world. To call it unique is an understatement. It is a parrot that looks like an owl, hops like a sparrow, growls like a dog and has a very unique smell.
The Kakapo (night parrot) is one of New Zealand's unique ‘treasures' and with only 86 known surviving birds it is listed internationally as a critically endangered species.
The only flightless and nocturnal parrot in the world, the Kakapo is also the heaviest, weighing up to 4 kilograms (9 lbs). They have been known to live to the ripe old age of 60 years, and the male Kakapo is the only parrot to have inflatable thoracic sacs. These truly amazing birds are found only in New Zealand .
The Kakapo is the only representative of a unique sub-family, Strigops habroptilus, which means ‘owl-faced soft feathers' and has many features of an owl such as a soft plumage and almost fur-like discs around the eyes. With mossy-green and yellow feathers, camouflage is the bird's main form of defence.
