The World's Fattest Parrot, Kākāpō, Named New Zealand's Bird Of The Year For 2020
It can't fly and it hides during the day but a critically endangered large parrot is back in the limelight having been named New Zealand's bird of the year for an unprecedented second time. The green and fawn kākāpō - the world's heaviest, longest-living parrot - first won in 2008. After conservation efforts, the population of this large parrot has risen from 50 during the 1990s to 213 now.
