The World's Strangest And Heaviest Parrot | Modern Dinosaurs | Real Wild 

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!

Protect this animal. They are simply amazing.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!

They look sooo huggable 🥰

Kakapo is the real cutest chocobo in this worlds

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

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

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.

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 ❤

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.💚🥬💚

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 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

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.

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.

Their mix of colors are beautiful!

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

A chonky flightless parrot might be my new favorite animal.

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

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.☹️

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

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

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 trooper Moss is❗️☺️🤗💓🦜💓

Great video and cool creatures 😃

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

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

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.

They're so beautiful!

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!

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

This should be definitely worlds cutest parrot

Cute. Hopefully thier kind will increase

I love those birds, fantastic

سبحان الله أول مرة ارى هذا الكائن♥

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

Only 154 of them left ?? So sad 💔

such a beautiful and ancient birds.

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

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.

Amazing parrot that looks like owl😍♥️

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

Gotta love the Kakapo.

OMG, so dang cute! 🥰

My man dropping a beat.

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

So it's a island chicken. 😆

That is THE cutest bird EVER 🥰!!!

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

What an amazing Creator there is!

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

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

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 miss that lovely Kiwi accent 💕

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

Thanks!

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

Just something you would expect from Middle-Earth.

Looks like something that would speak for the trees.

Thumbnail had me trippin

drink a shot everytime he says "kakapow"

They are so pretty.

New Zealand seems like such a magical place

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

He speaks for the trees

2:02 me skipping home from school

I love the Kakapaw

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

Stoats to the left of me, Rabbits to the right, Here I am, Facing extinction with you!

The kakapo is very cute

A flightless green owl.

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

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.

This parrot looks like the Lorax.

Such an extraordinary, critically important and well produced story. And as sobering as it is to hear of these amazing birds plight, learning that these scientists are using gene sequencing to assist in conservation efforts is uplifting. Big thanks to these tireless and passionate conservationists!

It's a parrot! I never knew

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

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

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

sad that something this beautiful is going extinct, breeding programs are needed before it's too late.

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. :)

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

Gorgeous little guys

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

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.

I asked my toddler did you make a poo poo? She said no! I made a kakapo! And it was Definitely a heavy kaka.

와우... 카카포!

Kakapoo has two meanings now!

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