The kākāpō is New Zealand's chunky, flightless parrot. They like eating fruit and making sounds like little tubas all night long.

Oh, I've seen that one. Mark Carwardine is his name, and -- I can't speak for him -- but I feel it would be an honour to be violated by a kakapo. Incidentally, I think it's *good* we have enough recent footage of these freaky parrots that we don't need to reuse 10+ years old footage. There are still far too few of them, but they're on the rebound

@@ShadowMageAlpha I'm sorry, but I don't think you are applying context. Medical science is at a point we're we likely would not have a repeat of the bubonic plague or spanish flu. Diseases can spread easily but Covid, as bad as it's been, does not touch either of those earlier instances. Vaccines are also preventing all sorts of awful diseases such as polio and the various poxes. Socio economic diversity is definitely on the down trend in developed nations, but among all nations the gap is closing. Also, our current state of socio split doesn't touch that of pre 1940s or the racial split pre 1990s. The climate issue is persisting largely due to our misinformation issue. Too many politicians continuing to be reelected because their supports don't believe we have influenced climate change. Those same people tend to not want to participate in global strategies that will reduce the emissions of developing nations. Overall, the world is getting better about emissions, just not quick enough. Fix the misinformation issue (which honestly means waiting until the boomers die off in significant numbers) and the climate issue becomes manageable. Same with repeats of covid. The disease was well maintained in much of the world. The US just sucked at it because the president declared it a hoax. Other nations that struggled were nations also struggling with similar surges of nationalist, science refuting movements. Things look bad over the 5 year trend. Long term were still trending up.

Fun fact! Parrots are often strongly scented, at least in a way we can smell. That's an observation I've made anyway. My jardine's parrot just passed away in a freak accident last weekend, but she smelled amazing. It's like a musty-sweet smell bird parents all love. My blue and gold macaw, Merlin, smells the best of all my birds. I love giving him a big obnoxious sniff and then dramatically going "AHH, I love the smell of boy in the morning" while he stands there like ??? But the best smelling parrot I've ever encountered in my time working in rescue are blue headed pionus. Dude it's literally like they're wearing a mild, sweet but still faintly musty perfume. I'm don't do perfumes but I'd wear it. She smells incredible and she can be smelled a few feet, not just point blank like almost every other parrot.

Hold on, humans have given a name to every single member of another species, that numbers in the billions.

I was playing World of Warcraft Dragonflight the other day and i was standing in some random place with some old buildings and a railing on top of a mountain, and i saw a little green bird on the railing. I got closer to it and saw it was called Kakapo. I thought that was really cool and cute. I wanted to tame it as my pet, but I couldn't. So i killed it.

NZ is so wild and gorgeous and bizarre and in my humble opinion has the funniest people on earth.

As a NZer, I say "Well done!" regarding this presentation. I have seen so many items on NZ that are just plain wrong or confused or get the wrong tone or angle. This is all facts, a light touch, no mocking, just excellent. Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, the kakapo is the bird used as Twitch's RareParrot and PartyParrot emotes. I absolutely adore both, especially PartyParrot. Keep these little meme birbs alive!
