The Kākāpō, New Zealand’s nocturnal, flightless parrot, is like the quirky cousin of the bird world—awkward, charming, and utterly unfit for houseguests. This green, chubby wonder is one of the rarest birds on Earth, with fewer than 250 individuals left as of 2023. Its plight echoes that of the dodo, the infamous flightless bird driven to extinction in the 1600s by habitat destruction, overhunting, and invasive species. The kākāpō teeters on the edge of a similar fate, highlighting the fragile balance between human activity and wildlife survival.
