Kakapo
Strigops habroptilus
Critically Endangered
Known as the 'owl parrot', the Kakapo is a unique bird native to New Zealand, notable for being the world's heaviest parrot. With its moss-green plumage and nocturnal habits, the Kakapo is a true oddity in the bird world. Despite being flightless, this bird has carved out a niche for itself in the forests and grasslands of its homeland. However, it is critically endangered with a population of just over 100, relying heavily on conservation efforts for survival.
