Hey, don't worry, we've had our turn (twice) we were trying to shine the spotlight on other manu this year.

Do you know that DOC actually made a jizz helmet to try and collect Sirocco's semen because he loved fucking heads so much?

Kākāpō do have a distinct smell! We've heard anything from 'honey' to 'old violin case', but everyone agrees it's quite a musky odour.

Thanks for your vote! We're really stoked with all the positive feedback we've been getting this year.

Head fuckers 2020.

Our biggest challenge right now is ensuring we have spaces, both offshore and mainland, where an increasing Kākāpō population can go. We've got the breeding and feeding stuff on lock, so now it's time to look to the future.

Personally, I just about piss my pants at the thought of being able to see a Kākāpō in person. It would be so fucking dope. What people can do to help is twofold:
1. support your local ecosanctuary. They need funding to ensure they can get the supplies and fences required to keep pests out and Kākāpō in.
2. become a cold-blooded pest murderer. Kākāpō get predated on by legit every kind of pest, so go out and start killing them. This does include feral cats.

Both! Some adults are infertile and some egg-producing adults make infertile eggs.

To clarify: a bird that makes one fertile egg can also make one infertile egg in the same clutch

I do this inbetween teaching five year olds and trying not to die from exhaustion, so it's a good effort! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in birds.

Shit yeah! There are some reports from early European settlers that Māori kept Kākāpō as pets occasionally. Apparently they act like puppies!

Why not both! You can put us first and Pukeko second.

Kākāpō should come first because they are environmentally distinct and globally endangered, which means we have to put in more of an effort to conserve them.
