The kākāpō, a large, flightless parrot that is native to New Zealand, is a fascinating bird. With an owl-like face and a body shape similar to a penguin’s, it moves with a wobbling motion like a duck. The kākāpō is characterized by its moss-green feathers, which help it blend into the forest. The large bird can weigh up to six kilograms, making it the heaviest parrot in the world. In spite of its large size, the kākāpō is known for its tame and gentle nature.
