Information report:parrots

Hi I am going to tell you about different kinds of parrots.

Kea’s are large,intelligent parrots that live in alpine areas of New zealand south island.They are the world's only alpine parrots and are known for their curious and sometimes cheeky behaviour near ski fields where they like to investigate bags, steal small items and damage cars.

This is a different parrot it is called Kakapos.

Kakapos are critically endangered flightless parrots, as of 2010 only around 130 are known to exist. They are active at night nocturnal and feed on a range of seeds, fruit, plants and pollen. Kakapos are also the world’s heaviest parrot.The ancient, flightless Kakapo is the world's rarest and strangest parrot. It the only flightless and nocturnal parrot, as well as being the heaviest parrot in the world, weighing up to 3.5 kilograms.The birds live in New Zealand, and island country which had virtually no mammals living on it for millions of year.The Kakapo did not learn the defense mechanisms to combat or escape mammals predators.This made the parrot very vulnerable when new animals started showing up.

New zealand is the home to some very unique parrots including the Kea, Kaka, and Kakapo.
