I know it's a parrot, but that thumbnail looks like the Lorax.

9:46 that might be the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!!! Omg that parrot skipping so jolly through the jungle! 😍

As a macaw owner, I was excited to watch this special, dedicated to the Kakapo! Bravo!

Wow... I had never hear of the Kakapo before watching this. Amazing! Hope their population continues to grow, and bravo to the scientists helping them

This is a great video representing a cooler bird. Live long and prosper, kakapo!!

The kakapo is an amazing animal. It is sad that they have been brought to the very edge of extinction, but fortunately there are people who are trying to save them.

Protect this animal. They are simply amazing.

Not just a documentary about an exceptional bird, but a very captivating history, geology, evolution lesson as well, bringing us to different places around the world. Amazing film making!

Thank you for caring for these beautiful creatures 💕....I pray for their survival!

Wonderful documentary about a truly amazing bird. I visited New Zealand 20 years ago and saw a very sobering display of extinct NZ birds in the Otago Museum. They also made the point that they had more kakapo skins in that one museum than the entire number of surviving birds. I was very fortunate to visit Tiritiri Matangi island near Aukland, however, and see the introduced takahe there. An unforgettable experience! All credit to the people doing their best to save such iconic and very precious creatures!

just to say.. thank you to all the archeologists, and geologists and all the other ists that VOLUNTEER their time to work on new findings. Especially when one fossil can take like months. its always so clear how much value they see in it, and thanks to them, we have so much information. those parrots are also so cute. they remind me a bit of wombats

I love kakapos, they're so derpy and cute 🥰. I love how they run, they look so silly it's adorable 🥰

It looks like the Lorax from the side view. So cute! As much as i love cats and dogs, I hope no one would release any other ground predators in those conservation areas.

I have come here for two reason. Firstly I have curiosity to know about creatures, species and wild animals. Secondly this video will help my learning English.

No wonder the heaviest parrot is in New Zealand, some of the most massive birds lived there in the past. The kakapo is an interesting animal, i guess there ain't many documentaries for this animal so this is a great treat.

They are my favorite color of moss green. Moss green reminds me of freshly cut grass on a rainy day with coffee brewing in my kitchen. I love green because it reminds me of life in the forest and relaxing on a rainy day. ☺️❤️ If I wasn't handicapped and born sick I would have been a zoologist and travel the world to study nature and I would have built a business for feeding the poor and sheltering homeless people and animals. I wanted to invent a nesting box with a built in system that record's activities of the animals that use it, when I was ten years old in 1989. I told my mom about it while we were heading to school. We use to build shelters for stray cats and rescued them. We ended up building water fountains for local businesses too. That turned into aquarium building with fountains as a tank display. She loved fish. I can speak to the fish and I taught the business owner's how to train their fish to entertain their visitors. I was a free diver for 25 years too. It costs too much for me to keep free diving so I gave it up in 2008. There's a lot of animals that have died from climate change and I witnessed part of it from 1997 to 2008. These birds are of a large list of animals that are dying out from weather changes caused by climate change and we are the cause. We move mountains and the earth needs recourses to recover but it's not going to recover because we take too much from the earth. It's sad really we have the technology and ability to help slow climate change but there's not enough people willing to do it. It's shameful.

I'm glad there is a new video about these, when they wait a year or two, it makes me afraid they went extinct quietly.

Kakapo is the real cutest chocobo in this worlds

Love this great documentary. Grateful to the research team making every possible effort to save this priceless lovable species. Hope to see their number continuously grow.

I cannot believe nobody has made a comment about the Stephen Fry video where the kakapo makes love to the cameraman 😂😂😂

Kakapo and keas are the most interesting bird I have seen with my eyes they display an intelligence that I’d love to explore as I am from Panama and have had and kept breed rehabilitated and released birds my self I find them majestic and alluring

When I first saw them I thought it looked like a mix of an owl and a parrot. So adorable. Please donate to the cause, and save the Kakapo ❤

Thats a wild fusion of a parrot, a peasant and an owl.

I love informative shows like this! I hope this rare bird survives as I hope for all endangered. Thank you for caring!

These birds have the loveliest feathers, they mimic fern fronds. And those quiet, beautiful green faces! So different to the usual garish colors of "traditional" parrots. Like everyone else here, I hope they're doing alright.💚🥬💚

Great video and cool creatures 😃

I believe the farms are run by both strong men and strong women. Thanks for the information, I never knew this parrot existed. Very interesting.

What a beautiful creature that we almost lost! Thanks to these scientists for saving them... I hope one day humans can learn to live WITH all the other beings on this planet instead of above them.

Their mix of colors are beautiful!

Absolutely stunning parrot I really hope we can protect and help them

I went to both islands as a child in the early eighties. Went to the forests, the geothermic mud pots, went on a helicopter to the top of a glacier, went on a boat ride through the caverns with the glow worms, chased sheep up and down a meadow outside the inn, saw a sheep herding and shearing expo, took the ferry between the islands. It was all so magical . My dad (nearly sixty when I was born) was there during WWII, he fought in the South Pacific and was stationed for awhile on the Solomon Islands. He took my mom and me to Rotorua, where he spent most his time there. We applied for citizenship; my dad was accepted, being a GI. But my mom was denied because she didn't have her bachelor's degree yet, and I was denied being a minor with neither parent being a born citizen. My dad was so angry... I wish I could be a Kiwi instead of American.☹️

Beautiful bird. Excellent Video and People... and Birds.

This is about the people, not nearly enough of the bird.

I know why the caged bird sings, and I love this doc. Remarkable creature.

What a trooper Moss is❗️☺️🤗💓🦜💓

They look sooo huggable 🥰

They are truly awesome. 100years is a Long Life, many parrots are very intelligent. I'm sure they will never be extinct ...

They're so beautiful!

A chonky flightless parrot might be my new favorite animal.

Only 154 of them left ?? So sad 💔

Oh my God!!!! World is having more stories to tell us Amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this info 🙏

The most impressive thing to me about this parrot is not that it's the heaviest nor the fact that it is flightless, but that it appears to be fully bearded. A bearded bird like a castaway on a deserted island.

still feel the wonders of a child when i find new animals. stunniing

Adorable 🥰First time I saw this animal

I love those birds, fantastic

the way that paleontologist can just talk and do his job like nothing is happening, while flies are crawling all over his face... i could not.

OMG, so dang cute! 🥰

I thought it was a Lorax for a second from that thumbnail.

سبحان الله أول مرة ارى هذا الكائن♥

Cute. Hopefully thier kind will increase

I love this video BC these birds are just big green triangles 💚

such a beautiful and ancient birds.

As an animal lover, these birds are precious and fascinating! As a lifelong retired career horticulturist, I’m in my own level of heaven just at the footage of the plants and trees in the video!

So it's a island chicken. 😆

Amazing parrot that looks like owl😍♥️

Gotta love the Kakapo.

What I learned from disease is ... Dis - ease. From my lil bro. /Amazing video. ❤️💯

2:02 me skipping home from school

A lorax is a fairly character in the "cat in the hat" books 📚😂 lmao

Thumbnail had me trippin

Such a smart idea putting Radio transmitters on every parrot which have emf’s, which are a class 2-b carcinogen which causes cancer.

I wonder if there’s a way to sign up and help the birds if we were interested

Looks like something that would speak for the trees.

To protect these vulnerable birds you have got to keep the big 6 predators away - humans, cats, dogs, rats, snakes, and weasels!

My man dropping a beat.

Thanks!

This should be definitely worlds cutest parrot

New Zealand seems like such a magical place

Moss' feather pattern remind me of a stereogram image, the kind you have to look at "cross-eyed" to see the hidden image

@19:45, are the walls of this museum made of rammed earth, does anyone know, please? Thank you.

So basically it's a flightless, vegan, green owl.

What an amazing Creator there is!

They are so adorable ...and i will be Make sure there is no stoats in d island ... Leaving together with the kokapoo parrots

Kakapo reminds me of that giant parrot in that Digimon movie.

I love the Kakapaw

Australia has all the good Pokemon, gotta catch 'em all!

"my name is the kakapo, I speak for the birds"

They are so pretty.

That is THE cutest bird EVER 🥰!!!

Was there really no predator on these islands? How could this creature survive that long?

This is not a Parrot this is Lorax that speaks for the trees

I can rem reading somewhere that one was found in America. It was found in Southern Kentucky around the Daniel Boone National Forest. They said it was more than likely released there by someone who had it illegally. I wish I could tell you what happened to it but I simple don't know. I can't find anything about it but I do remember reading about one being found there 100%. I hope it survived and went on to make more there in Kentucky. Knowing the chances of that happening are extremely low. Either that or they were able to catch it and care for it professionally. People please don't do stupid sh*t like that. ESPECIALLY to endangered animals. More than likely it was someone from this area taking the bird to america and it was during the Kentucky Derby and thats when they delivered the bird. It would explain some things because a couple of years before this happened if im not mistaken there were 2 people that got arrested at the Kentucky derby when trying to sell monkeys to people there. They asked the wrong person and got them put in prison because both male and female had warrants in another state for the same thing........So,, Im saying this nicely. If I were to ever catch a person with exotic endangered animals and I find out you sell them in the back market....well, just know I will convince you that it was a very bad idea. If you abuse animals or deal in animals in the black market....pray you don't end up on my radar. I take being twisted to an entirely different level.

Just something you would expect from Middle-Earth.

drink a shot everytime he says "kakapow"

those conservation scientists are like the birds they study.

Catching the rare parrot is not difficult, you're only doing it the wrong way. Just bring in Mark Carwardine, male parrots will flock around him. :)

I miss that lovely Kiwi accent 💕

Gorgeous little guys

The kakapo is very cute

와우... 카카포!

He's so cute!!! I love science related animal KZfaq videos as well... 🖤💚🤍

Damn thing survived this long and can't even fly lol. Well I guess that's why, it's stuck

When the farmer sat the tray of fossils on the hood I thought they were just rocks. Takes a very sharp and educated mind to see the fossils like those.

Kakapoo has two meanings now!

I thought this was another of those clickbait fake animal videos. It was slight clickbait because the thumbnail doesn't show the beak and it looks like a feathery Lorax with a cute lite button nose- a mammal with feathers. But the kakapo is real! A precious bird. Wonderful.

i hope that the cockapoo will not be the next dodo! More power to the scientist taking care of them!

They look kind of like the Lorex.

It's a parrot! I never knew

“uses his wings for BALANCE” …when one is flightless

The Kakapo breeds or attempts to breed with everything that moves within its visual range when its awake. The hump -hump again hump some more survival strategy works only for them due to their isolation and lack of predators they would attempt to breed with.
