It was strangely nice to see Cookie NOT find the super rare animal for a change 😂 still great to see you out in the field where you are at your best ❤
damn gonna have to push the tree line back at that place for the silly Kakapo
hahaha i know right, that's been the talk
It's good to learn from you about all these different birds and the great effort to keep them alive.
Another great video man! It's good to see New Zealand is working hard to help the Kakapo.
Thanks mate! It's really nice to see, it's deemed a national treasure and there is a lot of support from it that's for sure, great little thing
I’d never heard of them, they are the most comical puddings, I love them
Every time I see a kakapo, I think, “These things look like they’d be delicious, and surely farming them would be more effective at raising the population than releasing them into the wild.”
We want to raise the population of self-sustaining kakapo’s not domesticated/feral kakapo’s. The hope is to increase them in New Zealand not increase them in some farm also. Theres a reason why we don’t just take wild animals and make them livestock, the livestock we have today are as far away from their natural ancestors then the average lapse apso is from the grey wolf.
You do know that in the United States, people sometimes refer to a donkey as an Ass! What a dick your comment proved you are in real life.
This an amazing cookie, I was a student in Tauranga not far from maungatautari and we did a bit of work with doc I think over at maungatautari
also that would be a marvelous feat if they got Cats banned on Stewart island!
What an awesome video to stumble upon on a sunday morning, I spent my summer of 22/23 with a crew of other keen sorts modifying the existing fencline to try and keep the Kakapo in. Because of my mahi I was lucky enough to witness the second release of the Kakapo into the sanctuary. I didn't expect it but Kakapo quack just like ducks.
Theres my 2 cents for ya, awesome video mate keep up the good work
Heck yeah dude
Awesome story of recovery so far. New Zealand is a magic place with a really unique make up of ecology! Great vid cookie
It's awesome right?! thanks brother
What a wonderful video.Cookie...you are great! Keep up the great work
thanks mate, means a lot!
You should make a video covering the south Island kokako. An obvious relative to the north Island kokako that was last seen in the 70s and then thought to be extinct.
Until 2007 when an aproved sighting had happened.
Now I've heard that there are some ongoing projects in the hopes of finding and documenting the bird.
There is even a bounty If you are able to provide some evidence.
Good video! keep making more good videos like this my man
ah cheers bro! will do
Thanks for posting this informative video. Given the state of the world, it's really nice to hear some good news for a change. Hope the population can keep growing until it's secure for the long term.
Long way from home buddy!! Love the content. You were great on Wild Times the other day. Excellent PR work!
What's this about the wild times? what was I on?
Great video
thank you bro
suuuuuuuuch a good vid mate
So sick!
My local Asda has a Kakapo white wine, I assume that it's not made by Kakapos and doesn't contain any Kakapo in them either.
Not sure that any of the profits from the wine go towards saving the Kakapo which seems to be a bit of a missed opportunity.
It may do to be fair, the Kakapo recovery program has a variety of contributors
How much does it cost to get it to the forest?
WOW i personally think KILLING off the already situated animals to make way for these awesome birds is disgusting to say the least,,,, And to then remove the kakapo from a safe enviroment and putting them into a whole new life complete with predators they will have no experience of them or other dangers,,,,, Sad n cruel
It's not 'JUST ' about relocating the Kakapo to there tho, although they are very important and unique species on several levels . We also have native lizards, primitive frogs etc & other flightless or non predator wary birds in New Zealand and it's sanctuaries.
'Animal empath' type people can live their 'blamefree' existence and insist we NOT kill introduced predators- but then WE will blame them for ignoring the massacre of animals that were always 'meant' to be here or at least largely evolved here & have NO other place to live in the wild.
What some find problematic though, & it IS a matter of debate, is whether any native invertebrates & other smaller animals are affected by particular poison use.
But if we wait too long for ALL the survey results , many other species, ( *or perhaps even they) will disappear any way.
Yes, it is not JUST 'predator free' measures IMO.
NZ's DoC often appears to ignore the 🐘 in the room of climate change, plus the role of wilding exotic pines & subsequent wide scale introduced invasive flora drastically increasing lightning strike fires & arson risk etc in destroying adjacent habitats containing precious native species.
Christchurch's current Port Hill fires being a case in point. Notice the burning (California native) Pinus radiata pines!
You're wrong, this is necessary. Those animals were introduced there by us and have harmed the environment to an unimaginable degree. We are just correcting our errors.
Many other animals will also be killed,,, Its a big nope from us ,,, its disgusting, cruel and needless
