The Kakapo (Māori: kākāpō, meaning night parrot) […] also called owl parrot, is a species of large, flightless nocturnal parrot endemic to New Zealand. – wikipedia
I think these amazing birds have been in the news quite a bit lately, so I won’t spend too long running down their fascinating habits – what I did want to mention, however, was the interesting (to me, at least) fact that their most invasive predators are feral house cats, introduced by settling Europeans.
Nancy from the Relic Radio boards has to see this.
Anyone read the most recent Ruby Departed? Maybe we could hook up one of these owls with Loverboy. Apparently they have a lot in common…
