Kakapo Society

The Kakapo is a Unique Bird

• It's flightless
• It's the world's heaviest parrot
• It's possibly the oldest living bird and
• It has subsonic mating boom that can travel several kilometres

And that's just a few things that make kakapo so special!

The kakapo can only be found in New Zealand and every year
countless people from around the world - dozens of hard working
volunteers - give their time and energy trying to save the kakapo
from the brink of extinction.

Most of the Kakapo Recovery takes place on remote, predator-free islands
off southern New Zealand.
