| From Luke comes news of the ovipository feats of the world's rarest parrot, the kakapo. |
|
| Female kakapo raise their chicks on their own, and at night they leave their nest to forage for food. |
|
| The erysipelas infection that killed the three kakapo was brought to the island by migratory sea birds, researchers said. |
|
| From the moment the first humans settled here they cut a swathe of destruction through everything from kauri to kakapo. |
|
| We can still listen to the songs of the kokako and saddleback, and the booming of the kakapo. |
|
| Otherwise it is better to have daughters. And so it seems to be with the kakapo. |
|
| Among its treasure trove of fauna, New Zealand has other unique species such as the nocturnal, flightless kakapo, the world's largest parrot, of which only 83 remain. |
|
| The kakapo, a flightless bird, was particularly vulnerable to predators. |
|
| Like the kiwi and the kakapo, our school should be valued and treasured. |
|
| It might even save the kakapo from extinction. |
|
| There's nothing really funny about the plight of New Zealand's kakapo or owl parrot. |
|
| To keep the kakapo population going, conservationists have been feeding the birds in particular, the females so that they stay above the minimum weight they need to breed. |
|
| Some of the more well known and distinctive bird species in New Zealand are the kiwi, kea, takahe, kakapo, mohua, tui and the bellbird. |
|
| The takahe, kakapo, mohua and kokako are birds from which country? |
|
| Other species, including the remaining varieties of huia, the kiwi, the flightless rail, the takahe and the kakapo are all on the verge of disappearance. |
|
| Kakapo feathers were also used to decorate the heads of taiaha, but were removed before use in combat. |
|
| The endangered Kakapo parrot in New Zealand now has a fighting chance of surviving, thanks to a rescue programme sponsored by former Comalco and subsequently, Rio Tinto Alcan. |
|
| Accordingly, Rangier, Kakapo and Rolleston would be opened for residential and commercial development. |
