The Kakapo is already endangered but because of what it eats does not effect the Kakapo in being more endangered - Farzana Neshi Hossain

Kakapo still exist. They are flightless parrots, native to New Zealand, and critically endangered.

No the kakapo does not migrate because it is a flightless bird and moves very slowly.Also the kakapo is highly endangered (iucn critically endangered) and numbers are about 125 left alive.because of this the kakapo is only found on cod fish and anchor islands so they are free from predators. so in this case they have no were to migrate as they cant get off these islands.
Maybe a Kakapo?
Yes. The kakapo could very easily become extinct. This bird, the world's only flightless parrot, is critically endangered, with a population that has fluctuated between 110 and 130 for the past decade or so. Measures are being taken to ensure the kakapo's survival; primarily, the removal of adult birds to offshore islands where they will be safe from introduced feral cats and the kiore, or Polynesian rat.
This is the kakapo of New Zealand. It is the world's only flightless parrot, and it is critically endangered.
The kakapo is not recognised as the national bird of New Zealand. Perhaps if it were, its status would not be critically endangered. New Zealand's national bird is the kiwi.
