The kākāpō is a rare, flightless, nocturnal parrot found only in Aotearoa New Zealand, and it is the world’s heaviest parrot, known for its moss-green feathers, owl-like face, and gentle, curious nature. Instead of flying, kākāpō move by walking and climbing trees, using their strong legs to travel through the forest while feeding on native plants, seeds, fruits, and leaves. Historically, kākāpō lived across much of New Zealand in dense native forests such as rimu, tōtara, and beech forests, where thick understory, mossy ground, and deep leaf litter provided shelter and protection, and some also lived in subalpine scrub. Today, because they are extremely vulnerable to introduced predators, kākāpō now survive mainly in highly protected, predator-free sanctuaries and islands, where their habitat and breeding are carefully managed to help this taonga species recover.
