In the dense forests of Codfish Island, locating Kakapos can be a daunting task. These birds are equipped with effective camouflage, making them difficult to spot even from a close distance. To aid in tracking, Kakapos are fitted with radio transmitters, allowing scientists to monitor their movements securely.
Despite being flightless, Kakapos exhibit remarkable agility, climbing trees to feed on berries during the breeding season. Capturing them for health checks is no easy feat, but it is crucial for their long-term survival.
