‘My lovely distraction’: live stream of kākāpō – world’s fattest parrot – and her chicks captivates New Zealand
AI Summary
A live stream of Rakiura, a kākāpō (a rare, flightless parrot), and her chicks on a remote New Zealand island has captivated a global audience since mid-January. The New Zealand Department of Conservation launched the stream to allow viewers a rare glimpse into the breeding season of this endangered species. Over 100,000 people have tuned in to watch Rakiura care for her chicks, with many participating in an online forum to share their observations and support. Kākāpō populations drastically declined due to introduced predators, and conservationists hope this will be a record breeding year. The live stream offers a unique opportunity to connect with conservation efforts and witness the fragile existence of this unique bird.
