Kakapo

The Kakapo is a parrot. Kakapos are the world's heaviest parrot. Whanua Hoa is one of the islands they keep the Kakapo on and the other island is Anchor Island. Male Kakapo make loud booming noises for 8 hours then they make loud chinging noises to attract the females. The Kakapo are native to New Zealand. There are only 124 Kakapo left in New Zealand today. Anyone who goes to Whenua Hua has to have a quarantine check. Kakapo have to get as much rimu fruit as they can to survive. In 1950's they didn't know much about Kakapo because they couldn't see them. Kakapo live in the bushes to keep safe. Kakapo are vegetarians. Kakapo would rather chew on almonds and the females in particular like the taste of kumara. Kakapo have very very very ....... ....VERY strong tongues to suck out the goodness out of the corn and spit out the rest of it. **We need to help the Kakapo so come on New Zealand you can do it ! We don't want Kakapo extinct !**
