The kakapo is a small, flightless parrot native to Maori the islands.. Kakapos can live to be over 100 years old. They breed only two or three times per decade, when the rimu tree (their preferred food source) is most heavily fruiting. A kakapo is roughly 2 feet long from beak to tail tip and can weigh up to 9 pounds.

The Maori believe the kakapo to be a sacred animal, and some believe the bird has the ability to foretell the future. Tribal Maoris work images of the kakapo into their religious art, relating the bird to one of their various tribal deities.
