Kakapo - New Zealand Bird of the Week

Kakapo are one of the most unique birds on the planet, from being nocturnal, flightless, having a lek breeding system, and even having the potential to reach 100 years in age.
Kakapo nearly became extinct upon human arrival in New Zealand, but through remarkable conservation efforts like the Kakapo recovery program, Kakapo have managed to recover, and their future is now bright.
