Critically endangered kākāpō numbers drop again with death of young female bird

Fossil records indicate that in pre-Polynesian times, the kākāpō was New Zealand s third most common bird. However, their numbers have declined by 80 per cent in the past 100 years. They are the heaviest parrot species in the world with females weighing around 1.4 kg, and males 2.2 kg. The country’s kākāpō population currently lives on just four predator-free islands – Codfish Island/Whenua Hou, Te Hauturu-o-Toi/Little Barrier Island, Chalky Island/Te Kakahu, and Anchor Island. With no predator-free islands big enough to accommodate them, the only option is for DOC to find an island and then eradicate the pests.

Search for new kākāpō habitats urgent as islands full ahead of breeding season

Chris McKeen/Stuff Margaret Maree, a kākāpō from Codfish Island, has survived her battle with a potentially fatal fungal lung infection (first published in 2020). The need for a new home for New Zealand’s critically endangered kākāpō is growing ever more important as the species nears a near breeding season. Kākāpō currently reside on four predator-free islands – Codfish Island/Whenua Hou, Te Hauturu-o-Toi/Little Barrier Island, Chalky Island/Te Kakahu and Anchor Island. But their current habitats have hit capacity and the Department of Conservation is searching for a new island. Chris McKeen/Stuff

Two young kākāpō found dead on offshore islands

With a growing kākāpō population, they did expect to see more deaths. Chances of survival for the large, flightless parrots was much higher than under normal conditions, as they were closely monitored and catered for, but as populations grew, nesting spots and resources were in demand. Matakana was one of the kākāpō affected by aspergillosis, and treated at the Wildlife Hospital in Dunedin, where she became well known for her suspicious glares at the team whenever she was approached. Pōtonga was a member of the Wind Dynasty, one of matriarch Nora s great-grandsons. Brodie Philp/Supplied
