Kakapos are endangered birds, they are low parrots, they are endangered birds because when the first Maori settlers came to new Zealand the had no food and they were hundreds of Kakapos and then the Maori settler thought of eating the Kakapos since their were so many of them and just carried on eating them. Kakapos can live to be 95 years and above average, they are important species to New Zealand like kiwi birds as such. an interesting fact that Kakapos can climb trees, they are the worlds heaviest parrots of all time.
Kakapos are flightless, fight less and nocturnal. when Kakapos are on their diet all they eat is plants or plant berry's but normally they will fruits from Rimu trees and the seeds of the Manukau Kakapos live in forests they don't live in a trees they stay on the ground just like I said before Kakapos a flightless birds, Kakapos make their nest in smalls perfect holes for them. If a predator comes near by they will camouflage themselves because their feather are color in moss green, dark light brown and little white to combined in the forest or hide in their hole with absolute silence. here is a quote I found.
There are many ways to help the kakapo get removed from the critically endangered list. One way to do it could be supporting a worldwide or local conservation foundation that is already in New Zealand trying to increase the numbers of kakapo.
The Kakapo Recovery Team is a group of conservationists and volunteers that help make sure the remaining kakapo are healthy and ready for breeding. They do many things to improve kakapo including, regulated health checks, controlling the predators, feeding and hand raising.
This non-profit organization receives many donations and volunteers who are flown in to a conservation island to help the diminishing numbers of kakapo.
Another way you can help is simply by spreading awareness. Many people know that animals are becoming endangered but they aren't aware of the rate at which how fast it is happening. The rate of extinction is 4 species per hour and there is an unprecedented rate of endangered species. As of 2004, there are 15 589 species endangered which was an increase of 3300 since 2003. The kakapo could easily be one of those extinct if we, humans continue our harmful actions against the animals.
