Kakapo  Kakapo are nocturnal and native to New Zealand. They live on Codfish Island and Anchor Island where there are no predators. Kakapo are herbivores.They only eat plants like Rimu. Kakapo are special because they make a big booming sound to attract female Kakapo. Kakapo are also special because they are the rarest parrot in the world. There are lots of gadgets that the Kakapo team use to see what the Kakapo are up to. One of the gadgets is called the "Snark". The Snark is a transmitter that is attached to the kakapo and this lets the team know if the Kakapo are booming, feeding or where they are. The snark is placed by the feeding place. On the island there's water all around it so no ground predators can get onto the island. People who work with the kakapo society have electric blankets so when the female kakapo walk away a few of the members will come and wrap the chicks up. These are some members Chris Birmingham, Dana Boyte, Ruth Cole, Steve Horn and Phil Marsh.

When it's breeding season the male kakapo make a smooth bowl and booms. The kakapo are nearly extinct because there are only 124 left in the world.
