The kakapo parrot primarily uses its beak for survival. This strong, curved beak allows it to forage for a diverse diet of fruits, seeds, and flowers, which are essential for its nutrition. Additionally, its beak helps the kakapo manipulate and grasp branches, aiding in mobility and navigation through its forest habitat.

The Kakapo is the world's heaviest parrot, and the only parrot that can not fly. It is also one of the world's few truly nocturnal parrots. It resembles an owl in some ways, so if often referred to as the "owl parrot". It can climb trees, having the sharp beak and claws of a parrot.

Why are the kakapo extinct?

The kakapo, a large, flightless parrot of New Zealand, is not yet extinct.The kakapo is critically endangered, to the point where it is extinct on the North Island. However, it is not extinct in the south.Kakapo numbers have seen a steady decline since peopkle first arrived on the islands of New Zealand, and particularly since European settlement. There are numerous factors contributing to this. The Maori introduced the kiore, or Polynesian rat, which eats kakapo eggs and young chicks. EpWhen Europeans came, they brought non-native predators such as stoats and feral cats. Habitat loss played a major part in the bird's endangerment as well.The current recovery programme involves relocation of the kakapo to protected islands. Since the implementation of the Kakapo Recovery Plan which was established in 1989, numbers have gradually increased, but the bird is still critically endangered. Currently, the numbers hover around 130 adult birds.
