Kakapo  The Kakapo (Maori for night parrot)  The kakapo is a green, native and noctournal bird. The kakapo lives on Codfish Island / Whenua Hou. This island can be located on the very bottom of the south island. Their bowls make them very special because they are the only bird that makes shallow bowls to boom and they are the only birds that make bowls.

The kakapo climb trees with their strong feet and thighs. The kakapo is the heaviest parrot in the world. The kakapo goes "boom boom boom boom" and puff up (and look like a budgie). A kakapo can live up to 60 years old. Maddison's great uncle Bill Axbey was the first person to capture a kakapo. There are only 124 kakapo left in the world. The kakapo only lives on Codfish Island and Anchor Island. Deidre Vercoe,Ron Moorhouse,Daryl Eason,Graeme Elliot and Jo Ledington are all part of the kakapo recovery team. The main colour of the kakapo is green but they have a little brown on them. When they check them they sound like a pig being stepped on.
