Kale's kakapo page
Kakapo   T he kakapo is native to New Zealand. It is the only nocturnal and flightless parrot. It is found on Codfish Island also known as Whenua Hou near the South Island. It is the rarest parrot there is. It is flightless because many years ago the kakapos predators were other birds. That is why it is a ground species. There are not many at all. There are only around about one hundred and forty two left in the whole world. The female kakapos are solo mothers as the male kakapo leave after mating. Kakapos also dig small burrows in the ground. I dont know how they do it. The kakapos were moved from Stewart Island to Codfish Island because of predators like stoats. Note: you can not go and see the kakapo whenever you want. the only way to get to Codfish Island is by plane and you have to go at low tide cause there is no where else to land except on the beach. The kakapo can also be found on Anchor island as only eighty of them live on Codfish Island. The kakapo also have a specal transmitter on their back so if one of the kakapo go missing thay know where it is. The kakapos make shallow holes in the ground called bowls to mate in but to attract the female thay make a booming sound in the hole to make the sound echo. When the Europeans came to the new world ( New Zealand. ) The transmitter on the kakapo's back sends messages to a thing called a snark which tells people where the kakapo is whether it leaves its nest and other stuff like that.
