Fruits of love … a male kākāpō sitting on a tree on Codfish Island in New Zealand. The world’s heaviest parrots started breeding last week for the first time in four years, giving hope of a big boost to the small population. The native rimu trees are producing a bumper crop of berries, the kākāpō’s main food, which conservationists hope will lead to a record number of chicks for the critically endangered bird.

" #NewZealand's critically endangered #kakapo, started breeding last week for the first time in four years... Only 236 of the parrots remain in three breeding populations on some of the most remote southern islands... That includes 83 breeding age females, with high hopes this year could bring the most hatched chicks since records began... The first chicks are expected to hatch in mid-February"

Musuko is pleased. Also the Kakapo toy is huge!!

A little boy with his face blocked by watermelon stucker holds a Kakapo soft toy balanced on his left shoulder, while he grips a certificate of adoption from the Kakapo Recovery. 

Per the certificate, we are sponsoring Kakapo Rangi for the year.
