There are only 236 of them left on Earth. Every single one has a name.
The kākāpō is the world's heaviest parrot - a mossy green, owl-faced bird the size of a small dog that cannot fly, may live to 90 years, and only breeds every 2 to 4 years when New Zealand's rimu trees produce enough fruit to trigger the urge.
Rats. Cats. Stoats. Humans clearing forests. The kākāpō never evolved to outrun any of them.
By 1995, 51 birds remained. Scientists, rangers, and Ngāi Tahu - the Māori people who have always known this bird as taonga, a treasure—evacuated every last one to predator-free islands.
Each bird got a transmitter. Each nest watched around the clock.
This past February 14th, the first kākāpō chick in four years hatched. They named her Tīwhiri. By spring, 59 chicks had been born.
236 birds. Every name known. Every nest watched.
Who's counting down the days until the rimu trees fruit again? 🦜

🤣🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is now begging Iran to stop firing missiles at Israel & instead return to negotiations…
Why did he never bother to ask Netanyahu to stop bombing Lebanon & Gaza?
If Zionists hadn't invaded Palestine in 1948, Jews, Muslims, Christians and Atheists would be living in peace in Palestine as they had done for hundreds of years.
Welcome to the era of Iran acting as a global player.
For the first time in over 300 years, Iran has proactively taken action to protect its allies, its national interests and stop ongoing crimes against humanity.
Trump:
“I had to stop a country, a very powerful, very dangerous country from having a nuclear weapon, because they’ll use it. They’re nuts. They’re crazy people.”
What’s most frightening is that Iran is nowhere near as unhinged and insane as you are.
Pussy ass bitch always walks out of interviews when he’s called out on his lies. Then he reverts to name calling. The good part is watching the lumbering fat fuck struggle to get out of his chair. Have I ever told you guys how much I hate this motherfucker?
Quand on se souvient des appels au boycott de la Coupe du Monde au Qatar, on se demande où sont passés tous les moralistes alors que les Etats-Unis bafouent toutes les règles de la FIFA!
Ils s’en prennent aux joueurs, aux staffs, aux journalistes, aux supporters! Et Infantino qui en avait plein la bouche au moment de remettre un scandaleux prix de la paix à Trump, il est très très silencieux devant de telles exactions ! #CDM2026 #FIFAWORLDCUP
What happened to Lebanon’s right to defend itself? Does any country have the right to defend itself from Israel? Who’s going to stop this terrorist state?
A young man from Gaza writes: "The moment they bombed the police station, we weren't looking for camera angles; we were searching for breath amidst the rubble. I went inside, checking on the wounded and the martyrs, and among the ashes, I found it... It was the mobile phone of the martyr Mustafa Adwan. The phone was ringing, and the screen lit up with a name that could shake mountains: 'Mother.' I couldn't answer the first or second time; the sound that would come from that phone carried a weight that mountains couldn't bear. But as it continued to ring, and the calls kept coming, I suddenly felt an earthquake in my chest... The film reel took me back to the darkest moment of my life, when I lost my daughter and my wife and tasted the bitterness and burning pain of that loss. I answered the phone, my heart aching, and defended that mother's heart with all the mercy I possessed, telling her: 'I want to reassure you, your son is fine...' She swore me to God, and the oath was heavy, and the news was too difficult to speak. My human heart couldn't bear any more, so I turned off the phone..." Leaving behind a pain that only God can heal.
May God have mercy on the martyr Mustafa, and may God have mercy on my wife and daughter, and grant patience to the grieving mothers.
🚨 NOW: Iran's CENTCOM drops a massive ultimatum on the Zionist regime and the White House.
He warns if illegal attacks on Beirut continue, Iran will launch crushing strikes directly on occupied territories. The Trump administration is officially on notice!
For the first time since 1979, Iran took the initiative and bombed Israel.
benjamin netanyahu's strategic security has fallen. The Israeli deterrence has been destroyed today.
Will netanyahu clash with Trump or with his Israeli allies and opposition groups?
