as small as a world and as large as alone

The kakapo is one of the rarest parrots in the world:

It’s flightless
It’s the world’s heaviest parrot
It’s possibly the oldest living bird and
It has a subsonic mating boom that can travel several kilometres

it doesn’t even walk

it GALUMPHS

there is literally no other word for what this precious moss potato is doing

There’s only a 125 of these birds left in the world, sadly. There’s a great conservation effort going on for them, and they’ve come a long way, but so much still needs to be done to help these birds get to a population with sustainable numbers.

The kakaporecovery.org.nz is a great website to learn more about these guys. :) (and also donate, because these guys need it!)

And one of them tried to mate with the head of a man on one of those ‘naturalist’ type TV shows.  Of course that’s not a kakapo thing, that’s a parrot thing.  They’re some of the most unabashedly horny creatures I’ve ever seen.
