Georgia's Kakapo Wiki
Kakapo Kakapo Kakapo are a type of bird that is nocturnal and can not fly. They only eat plants. They can only be found in New Zealand and are taken care of on a island called Codfish Island. The island has no pests and it is safe to put the kakapo on the island. A long time ago kakapo lived on Stewart Island. The kakapo now live on Codfish island because there are too many predators on Stewart Island. You have to go to Codfish Island by plane. Also not many people go there and they have to leave things where they found them and you have to wear a type of clothing that is safe and it must be on at all times so then nothing happens to the person who is wearing the suit. Codfish island is a nature reserve with no pests or predators because the kakapo might get killed and there will be hardly any left. Kakapo are an endangered animal and is close to becoming extinct and never will be seen by anyone or anything on Earth. Kakapo have strong legs to climb trees to get their food to eat and give to their babies to make them healthy and strong like their mother and father. The male kakapo can make a loud booming sound and puff out their chest to atract the female kakapo. The male stays with the female until she has the eggs then the male goes away and does his own thing leaving the female to do all the work. The mother has to do all the sitting on the eggs and she has to look after the babies. She also has to get extra food to feed her and the little chicks. The mummy kakapo looks after the chicks for three months and then she lets them free to live their own lives and do what they want to do. The kakapo live in a nest on the ground and not in a tree like a normal bird because they can not fly and they would have trouble bringing food up if they lived in a tree. Kakapos are a big bird that can not fly. There are only 124 kakapos left in the world and they all live in New Zealand and not all of them live on Codfish Island.
