More sad #kakapo news: adult female Millie has been found dead on Te Kakahu (Chalky Island), where she was transferred last October. Cause of death is likely to remain unknown. There are 204 kākāpō left. #conservation #parrots
New Zealand’s most prestigious election is plagued with fraud. @michaelkosta investigates a rigged Bird of the Year competition threatening to derail avian democracy.
Did you see us on @TheDailyShow last night? Kākāpō can't fly, but we do get around the globe! cc.com/video/jtu2t2/t…
will we smash this year or not? The trees will tell all!

@team_kakapo ........and the crowd roared! 😂
I just walked into a random cafe in a Aotearoa New Zealand and everyone behind the counter, not really knowing me but knowing I am bird of the year, erupted in spontaneous applause 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Conservationist Mark Carwardine’s encounter with @Spokesbird, with commentary by @stephenfry, was a landmark for #kakapo #conservation, introducing the species to millions of people. It’s great to hear that Mark still fondly remembers the moment! thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/scotla…

Happy to add this uncommon Kakapo boi to my @BizarreBeasts pin collection!!!
Not a lot of great news came out of 2020, except for the Kākāpō being crowned New Zealand’s bird of the year! An undeniably deserved title in our opinion. However, this election was not without controversy 🧵.
Wow, what a contribution you’ve made to science via RNZ, @AlisonBallance - whatever you’re up to next, hope it involves telling us more about sharks & kākāpō
