When we met Sirocco the Kakapo
At
least since we arrived in New Zealand and probably long before that Michael has
wanted to meet a kakapo. I didn’t hold out much hop as there are only 125 left
on the planet. A kakapo is a huge green and yellow flightless parrot and before
the arrival of man they lived throughout New Zealand. Now all of the surviving
birds live on Cod Fish Island, off the south coast of the South Island and are
all part of an intensive breeding program to bring their numbers up.
