So much for spending thousands on that long, fast lens to get a closer shot. Very funny.

Gives a bit of an insight into why they are rare.

Yeah funny! They're very rare, and only over here!

From Home of the Kakapo Recovery Programme | Kakapo Recovery Programme
The kakapo is the rarest parrot in the world. It’s flightless, it’s the world’s heaviest parrot, it's possibly the oldest living bird and it has a subsonic mating boom that can travel several kilometres, just to name a few things!

It's the only nocturnal parrot.

Just found out - 20 years ago there were only 40, now there's 124.
