Kakapo: Crazy Moss Chickens
Вставка

- Dunedin Wildlife Hospital helps care for native New Zealand wildlife that are sick or injured. We helped care for sick kakapo chicks during the 2019 breeding season as well as the aspergillosis outbreak.
These critically endangered parrots are very playful and a joy to care for!
Head to kakapo Recovery webpage (www.doc.govt.nz/kakapo-recovery) for more info on these beautiful parrots. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
My memory of these birds are just one of them mating on a british guy's head
“Mate, you are being shagged by a rare parrot”
@@MagpieDynamics truly an exotic sight
Yup 😂
"Look. He's so happy... He's really going for it!"
I wrote a paper in middle school about these guys. The shitty kind with citations...
Down to how researchers were trying to adjust diet to improve the parrot's yearly reproduction.
I'm old enough to remember when it was thought that there was only one kakapo left. The discovery of that tiny colony on Stewart island gave me such a relief . From the low of only 20 birds to the current population of 250 has been a miracle. Every single one of these birds is priceless and it's testament to the ecologists and biologists of New Zealand for rescuing the species from the brink of extinction.
Me too.
I’m quite young still, but when I heard about kakapos the first thing I wanted to do was protect them. They are my favorite bird. They are perfect chubby little moss chickens
As far as I know the number went to around 50?
@@Random-sm5gi
That was after the Stewart Island population was rediscovered. Before then only five individuals were known, all males.
Where else were they
That species got international fame...
when their ambassador Sirocco tried to mate with a human. He was so happy doing it too
siROCCO, like the legend himself ?
@@sephikong8323
Si, Rocco!
"Look he's so happy... he's really going for it!" 😆
Sirocco: You got a purrty head boi.
Human: "I am sorry WHAT?"
*Careless whisper intensifies.*
Kakapo: "Looking double wide surprise"
Guy: what?
Heaven's animal design team:
"Okay, hear me out... A bird. But just in body.
For its brain & spirit; A cat that is perpetually high on nip."
Nah you won't get that in any cat
@@easternwind4435 You must be new to the cat side of the internet; there's plenty of cats that react to nip like that.😂
God: "Approved!"
I love that anime
@@smashbrolink This is typical playful and curious parrot behaviour tho.
I know nothing about the kakapo (yet), but you described these birds well!
Love how they roll over like a parrot and walk like an owl
LMAO THE WAY THEY JUST KEEP FALLING OVER AND ROLLING EVEN WHEN THEYRE NOT HARASSING THE TOWEL
ひっくり返ってジタバタしてるのも、飛べないくせにいっちょ前に羽バサバサしてるのも全部愛おしいカカポさん
i’ve been so intrigued by kakapo for quite some time now. this video sort of just clarified how they’re parrots
First of all: Same!!!
Second of all: Everyone in this comment section are acting like it’s an animal they always known but don’t know the name of it :,)
BUT FINALLY SOMEONE THAT ACTUALLY KNOW THE NAME OF IT
@@genshinkleetheterroristd4576 I always called it a Cockapoo just to be childish... then I found out that's a dog breed. Unfortunate pupper.
That was my question seeing their feet.
They're moss chickens :)
Me: I'm going to be responsible and go to bed early tonight!
Me at 1 am: crazy moss chickens from New Zealand
its 1:02 4 me lol
Why is it that there is only 30 minutes between the hours of 1 am and 5 am ?
@@ebeb516 I know, It's crazy isn't it?
Sounds all too familiar to me😅
It's 2:45 a.m. right now for me.
it's no wonder they're endangered- they can't go 5 steps without tripping on themselves XD!!!
They're corgi puppies of the bird world
They had no natural predators before people came along and brought all sorts of weird shit to NZ. Can you even imagine it? Two huge islands and not one native land-based mammalian!
@@Nemo66577 Nope, no snakes, but there are lizards, frogs, bats and the 'living fossil', the tuatara! Looks like a lizard, but it comes from a completely different lineage that is only found in NZ!
@@Safiyahalishah Cats (for example) are a scourge for those birds. If unchecked, cats will exterminate them. They are critically endangered & there are only like 160 of them.
It’s like god woke up and decided to make the goofiest bird possible ❤
it ties on that spot with Keas😁
the poor goofballs are endangered
Blue-footed boobies.
Imagine having one of these as a pet.
That would be the Potoo bird.
OMG these babies are hilarious-just Adorable! The lucky people that get to care for them!
I wouldn't say lucky. These birbs will try to mate with anything that moves.
@@cleanserofnoobs4162 There are much worse things to deal with, their cuteness is wel worth it
Just don’t put them near your neck...
@@cleanserofnoobs4162 Just cause you saw one video about them doesn't make you an expert on the birds...
@@epicbear4679 Well you're wrong. I've watched more than one video. I watched this one, and also the one with the guy who was getting shagged in the neck. So checkmate!
these are the derpiest, most majestic potatoes I have ever seen
this comment made me recoil
These are the cutest, derpiest things ever
Bird big, brain small, silliness infinite.
this is the most reasonable and restrained rendition of yakety sax i’ve ever heard
These guys are just absolute favorite. I just hope they're being protected and not exploited.
Places like New Zealand and Australia are very good at keeping endangered animals away from people who do that but if they are in SE Asia (like Cambodia, Vietnam, parts of China, etc) then you can just forget about it. (Unless an American or British have / run a wildlife rescue/rehabilitation center) They will be exploited, abused (physically & psychologically & in some horrific cases even sexually) and if it's a monkey they tend to horrifically abuse them in ways that can't be defined, it's unbelievably horrifying.
It's completely opposite in NZ and Australia, they are Usually so protective that it can cross over the line to be extreme / overboard at times.
@@ladyweasellou3367 everywhere should be extreme when it comes to protecting animals in my opinion. If you did any of that to a person, you would most likely go to jail in most places. And I feel like it should be the same way for animals. I just have no idea why anyone would sexually abuse an animal.
@@ladyweasellou3367 Australia is actively trying to eliminate the dingo. They hate their native wildlife
@@ladyweasellou3367 I've loved animals since the first moment I saw one so unfortunately I know all about it and even then some. Thinking about these things just weighs me down emotionally.
@@J.A.huscher I agree. To be bluntly honest I wish all animal abuse, poaching, forced breeding, etc etc should have stiff and serious legal repercussions. 9 times out of 10 anyone that is capable of abusing an animal is capable of almost anything. I feel this should be a U.N global issue.
I'm going to sleep early today
Me at 3 am:
*GREEN CHICKEN*
*GREEN CHICKEN*
GREEN CHIMPKIN!
I LOVE THESE BIRDS!
Yeah and how their trying to shag that towel
@@sethgillanders7647 Shag means ruin right?
@@Wulfahlicious no it doesn’t
And these birds love green... don't wear a green shirt.
@@Wulfahlicious It means to have s*x
I feel such an unyielding affection towards these birds. If I could foster one somehow I'd do it in a heartbeat.
This is a ferret in bird form, with the shape of an owl, the beak of a parakeet, and the feathers of a parrot.
And the face of a distinguished professor.
They are a species of parrot and the only species which is flightless
鳥類なのに動きが犬猫のそれなんよ！可愛い！！
なんでこんな可愛いのに野生で生き行けたんだよ。本当にありがとう、カカポとそれを愛する者たち
"Moss Chickens"
Lol, I love that nickname
Kakapos are too good for this world
You have no idea how much I love Kakapo 😭💜 They're just so pure
とても幸せな気持ちになれました、ありがとうございます。
They are so playful and adorable!! GOD protect these little ones, and all of the beautiful creatures HE gave us.
Scientists and rescuers are doing that… not god. These birds have evolved for millions of years so I hope their specie doesn’t end soon.
🙏
Amen! Thanks be to the Lord for making all these amazing creatures!
Lol the bloody narcissism, it's all ours right? The "LORD" made all this for us … yeah …
How about they're their own thing and we weren't supposed to have anything to do with them?
The world isn't about you nor us, grow up
Gods don't exist I'm affraid.
Those birds are lovely ❤
Your name non-cyrilic veronitchka

Sooo adorable I'd love to cuddle one!! 🤗
Me too
They will try to mate on your head there is a video once i saw
I detect the influence of Big Moss Chicken in the making of this documentary.
But seriously, thank you for helping save this species.
They look like they’re constantly high or drunk, fukin love it.
OMG these kakapo one of the most adorable creature I've ever seen in my life!😍😭
I wish I could get that much fun out of a simple towel.
F U N tryin to get laid huh xD
Oh you can, trust me
Bless these creatures! May thier population make a full recovery!
It's fun to see them acting like the rest of the parrot family with their curiosity and silliness.
Fantastic. It is so crazy that New Zealand birds, i e kiwi and Kakapo, are so much more like puppies than birds. Greetings from Germany. You are doing such a great job with these animals.❤️
Hihihi Kakapo
Dogs are not natural beautiful animals like the kakapo.
@@SatanenPerkele dogs may have been bred by humans, but are still beautiful animals. Stop trying to get someone to agree with you by spamming.
FINALLY PEOPLE THAT KNOW THE NAME OF KAKAPOS OMG I SM DO HAPPY I’LL START TO CRY
i appreciate you calling them moss chickens
the one on its back going crazy flipping all about the place is best birb
LOL - they are having so much fun. What a great video.
Kings of parrots, they may not be able to fly due to their size, but they earned their high ranks of being coo coo.
Zoomie, adorable, flop around, cuties 🥰💐
This is the singlehandedly, most amazing, graceful, and beautiful video to ever grace the internet, nothing can ever beat this absolute masterpiece of a video.
They are so adorable!
I love these birds! What great clowns!
_Bird -brained_ my scrawny left elbow!
Those are thoughtful, intelligent, feeling creatures.
They’re adorable too 😃
Umm.. they are birds. They have a brain. Your problem is?
@@Tovek man. With material like that, you should be on the radio.
There are essentially what happens when a bird wants to be flightless but has yet to fully evolve into its final form
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one of those kind of birds before! But I totally got a kick out of watching them run around and play , especially the one on the right that was having a blast with the towel 😂. It kinda resembles the way a cat would play! Great video! 🐓
they're flightless parrots

@@kingmasterlord thank you! I’ll check out your link!
We hope that Kakapo will not become extinct. We would like to thank those who have put their efforts into breeding.
How beautiful are these babies
They are SO beautiful
SO
I LOVE 'EM SO MUCH.
They are so playful!
They look so good nd happy with friends./alone these birds look depressed and scared.. please protect and increase their no.
My very favourite animal ❤❤ I wish we had em in Canada
See you all in 5 years when this blows up
Unique animals: exist
Australia and New Zealand:
Moss chickens is the perfect way to describe them
Thank you for saving these cute bird.
Kakapo are one of my bucket list animals. #1 on my list is “meet a kakapo” followed by “hug a baby gorilla” and “see elephants in the wild”
Your cockatoo is cute :3
check "elephant nature park", a rewarding experience if you go there.
What about eating wild glizzies?
Oh my gosh when he stands on the towel like that and looks up straight, it totally reminded me of my male bird, he does that all the time to impress the female :3
I'm so sad they're endangered, the world needs millions of these little walking cabbages
they're so silly holy god the silliness is uncontrollable i'm filled with an incredible amount of silliness
I love these birbs so much.
Nature just be like : here some pokemon ,now !
Love them! Thank you for saving them!
My spirit animal
Short, round and smooth brain
Dunedin Wildlife Hospital, you'll be getting a donation from me for this fabulous video alone, excellent work you're doing all round. 💕
♥️💞
I really needed this right now. Love it! 😄
They make chickens look graceful.
They Are TOO CUTE!!!!☺️
Kākāpō's are my bucket list Birb 🥰. I need to see one on person before I die.
I don't get why something that tries to fuck literally everything is this endangered.
Wonderful birds, however. I love them.
They had no natural predators....and then humans brought cats and cats are very good at killing
@@2020Dumpsterfire Rats and stoats too, who are also very good at swimming across islands and also eat eggs
@@RadSco also very good at killing
@@2020Dumpsterfire Yep. The mammals introduced to New Zealand devastated a habitat once dominated by anything but. It's a shame.
Females can only reproduce when there are plentiful Rimu berries. Now with global warming the fungus aspergillosis is prolific and is deadly to these birds. 2020 was great for rimu berries, so lots of chicks were born bumping the numbers to just above 200!
thank god we didn't let these guys go extinct
They flop like little ragdolls AHHH
Great cuddle buds 💕
Give them a ball, they would Love that.
they are so precious~
Kakapo ITS one of he biggest parrot species in the world, the only one una le to fly... And loves british cameramen so much.
we were so close to forever losing these birds and still their future is incredibly precarious.
such a beautiful animal
Not sure why this needed a Benny Hill soundtrack.
an art form
So precious! And beautiful!
I don't know why this took two years to pop up in my recommendations, but I'm totally here for it!
beautifull!
I love them! They’re like weird chicken cucumbers lol 😂
0:52 Precious lil' floof 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Seeing these mossy bois romping and horsing around, blissfully unaware that they may be among the last of their kind, made my day.
この子達を守らなくては…(使命感)
I actually did a class presentation on these cuties. I got an A.
So i'm not the only one eh?
@@angrycinnabon2956 Not the only useless one, no.
Hey, congrats man 👍
What a bunch of cute things ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Preciosos!❤
Man I wish these birds were more common and that we can own these guys, sadly they are at the edge of being extinct.
At least they are doing much better than they were a few decades ago.
If people could just stop breeding disgusting dogs nature would be in a better balance
@@SatanenPerkele Feral dogs, cats, released mustelids, stowaway rats, etc. all contributed to the kakapo's decline.
@@SatanenPerkele If people would just stop breeding nature would be in a better balance
なんて可愛いの‼️大好き😍💓💓
Dude they are soo playing! Avians are amazing! True dinosaurs too!
I love them!
as a north american it's so strange seeing a green bird. maybe a spot or stripe of green somewhere, but this bird is GENUINELY green
Never seen Green Hummingbirds?
@@johnathandeckard1954 Hummingbirds are hard to see. With all the flapping.
@@raymondkravitz2001 They can be hard to see. Although not as hard when they are feeding or on a perch.
Check out the male ecelectus parrot
可愛い😍❤️💕 触りたーーい😆❤️
A dog sized budgie, everything I have ever hoped for
They actually play for fun, nothing else.
Kakapos and Keas in 1 Vid.... this would be interesting :-) :-)
