The kakapo, the world's only flightless parrot, is native to New Zealand and only found in that country. However, they are not found on the mainland but, being critically endangered due to predation by introduced species, they are now found on only a few selected offshore islands. In 2014, the only wild kakapo can be found on Anchor Island, Codfish Island (Whenua Hou) and Little Barrier Island (Hauturu). These islands are essentially made up of thick bushland which is closest to the kakapo native habitat. Other islands nearby are also possibilities for future populations.
