For those wondering, the other nocturnal parrot is the night parrot. They are endemic to Australia, where their natural habitat is the spinifex grass which still dominates much of the dry, dusty Australian interior. Because of their unique lifestyle, it is one of the most elusive and mysterious birds in the world, with no confirmed sightings of the bird between 1912 and 1979, leading to speculation that it was extinct. Sightings since 1979 have been extremely rare. It is one of only four ground-dwelling parrots in the whole world, the other three being the closely related Ground parrot (found in Australia), the somewhat closely related Antipodes parakeet (from NZ's Antipodes Islands), and of course the Kākāpō which is unrelated. Also, that clip of Sirocco doing that is so iconic. The fact that other guy is just observing and letting it happen is pure gold. I have seen that hundreds of times and those hundreds of times it made me cry laughing. The commentary by Fry is just god tier; "you are being shagged by a rare parrot" it's just poetic and hilarious at the same time.

Whatever they "resurrect" will have a hard time as a functioning wild creature without parents to teach them "how to act"... see the kakapo that liked human heads in the video for an intelligent creature to not be raised by it's own kind. It's like, if some alien race found human DNA and created a human, without a mom or dad to teach it how to interact with the world, the "human" would fail at life without heavy intervention.
Slight correction: The bird you showed at the top left at 0:15 to represent the New Zealand parrots isn't actually a member of the New Zealand parrots or Strigopidae family. That is a baby Malherbe's parakeet (kākāriki karaka) and while they are from New Zealand, they're from the Psittaculidae family which are Old World parrots. That said, the reason the Strigopidae family in NZ are their own thing is they diverged from the other parrots around 82 million years ago when New Zealand broke off from Gondwana, while the ancestors of the genera Nestor and Strigops diverged from each other between 60 and 80 million years ago! Out of the Strigopidae family, the kea are my favorites. They are found only on the South Island (though fossils show they were once found on the North Island too) and are one of, if not the only alpine parrot as they can be found breeding at heights of 1,600 meters (5,200 ft) above sea level and higher! For food, they go after beetle larvae, land snails, other birds, and even go after mammals like sheep and rabbits! Not only that but they are also exceptionally intelligent. Researchers set them a series of intelligence tests based around probabilities and social cues. They found that kea can perform better than monkeys, showing abilities only previously seen in great apes such as humans and chimpanzees!
Person from New Zealand here! The reason we have so many flightless birds is because when New Zealand was separated from the rest of the world (Pangea stuff) we didn’t have any predators to the birds. So they didn’t adapt to having the ability to fly.
It’s not that they didn’t evolve flying, they already could fly. It’s more that they lost the ability because they didn’t need to anymore! And they got bigger because of it making flying impossible.
@@trilobite3120I live in NZ and due to their critically endangered status, you'd be hard pressed to find one in zoos or whatnot. They only live on protected offshore islands and in a fenced in sanctuary at the mainland. Not even sure if you can see them in person
@@AcidicPlant I was actually having an argument about this elsewhere in the comments of this video. Someone was saying that just by living in New Zealand and traveling fairly widely you could easily see one, which I'm pretty certain isn't true. Unless you volunteered for DOC or work as a veterinarian at the Auckland zoo the only way you could have seen them at any point in the recent past is when there were some chicks at willowbank for a brain surgery a couple years ago.
@@trilobite3120yeah, there's no way you could see one merely by travelling around NZ. Your only hope would be to see Sirocco himself if he happens to be going on tour around the country (has happened at times) or if you were working with the relevant team in the Department of Conservation. The person you were arguing with was probably thinking of kea, which are also endangered, but more common and far more conspicuous.
Speaking of New Zealand I know it's an extinct animal but you should do a vid covering the Haast's Eagle,it was an actual NIGHTMARE Watched a few of your vids and glad to see animal science communicated trough such a format,cracked up myself a few times,good job!
You think the Kakapo had a close brush with extinction? Look up the Chatham Island Black Robin. At their darkest hour there were only 5 individuals left, only one of whom (Old Blue) was a female. Today there's over 300 of them, and all are descended from Old Blue. Oddly enough, there's been no recorded problems with inbreeding despite the genetic bottleneck. It's one of the greatest conservation success stories in history.
Imagine Sirocco just showing up to your door and be like: “Hi I’m your new neighbor and I’m here to tell you that I’m registered as a sex offender.” I’d run for my god damn life!
They should look into the hats they use for California Condor... sessions. Could have saved problems. Well, maybe if they also included a Nintendo Switch for something to do as the events happen. Maybe have a power adapter on hand...
There have been instances of kea finding sheep that were stuck in deep snow, then sitting on them and digging into their backs to eat the fat around their kidneys - often while the sheep were still alive. Up until some time in the 70s, farmers were allowed to shoot kea. There was a bounty paid by the government on kea beaks, and there was even a special classification for "kea guns" (basically a sawn off shotgun) in our firearms legislation. Now they're endangered.

I think they should evolve big muscular arms for protection
great idea
Consider the following: Laser eyes.
Maybe a stronger chest bone too, to anchor the arms into place?
@@marcopohl4875 yes stronger arms and muscles back to flight
@@GreenPoint_one I wonder if any other birds have that kind of adaptation?
The Kakapo is the parrot version of the Dodo.

I think the dodo is the pigeon version of a kakapo

Why should parrot need a type of dodo
The only difference is the Kākāpō is still alive.

My favorite thing is that the name kakapo translates to "dookie/shit butt" in German and I LOVE it for that.
so it really is a kaka poo
The name also means night parrot (or, more literally, parrot night) in Te Reo Maori.
@@Sotanaht01Kaka and poo are the same name
@@UnkownWondersthat’s actually true in Māori I’m very sure
Reminds me of the "hey shitass" meme
Fun fact: scientists are already trying to ressurect the dodo. They actually have the DNA and all
I need a pet dodo, they need to bring them back
Same
God i hope they succeed. Fuck all the dumb DNA ethics

@@macc.1132the scientists know that. They will make fake dodo parents
so your telling me this bird is a walking boom box?
im gonna need 5 of them
That or a walking THX deep note.
that ejaculation helmet was already invented to save a species of falcon and it worked
Damn ig kakapos are just hard to work with
Like Casual Geographic said: They come in different colors, and so do the falcons.
For the heaviest parrot species, ya boy has some stamina...
The Kakapo can fly
If you yeet it hard enough
You are a monster
._.
In german, the word "kaka" translates to "poop" and "po" translates to "butt". This means, the bird is called "Poopybutt"...
That scares me
😂

Can't have shit in nz
If I may suggest, I would love to see a video on the mako shark species, or even just a focus on one of them.
5:17 Just imagine randomly walking in the forest and some bird starts swinging his ***** on your face

For some reason I read be one instead of see one and I was shocked for a second

And Stephen Fry is in the game (iykyk)

Watched a few of your vids and glad to see animal science communicated trough such a format,cracked up myself a few times,good job!
Thanks for doing a video on a NZ subject,they are actually really cool birds .im a amateur bone carver and I carved a small bone one few weeks ago
6:15 I love that the failed sex doll is only mentioned in passing
we making out from natural selection with this one🗣️🗣️🔥🔥❗💯‼️
Love your channel ADHD approved ❤ I learned and was entertained 10/10
As a NZ'er, fuck up
5:24 This video will never not be funny
As you can tell, I absolutely fucking love Kakapo’s.
Can't help but agree.

@@NUTS-4-DAYZ 😂😂
You are criminally undersubbed my guy.

I want to pet these things so badly, they are so cute to me.
5:27 xDDDDD I ljust love how he is just like AAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA and waving around his wings
Yeah, he was in total ecstasy 😂
Douglas Adam's Last Chance to See is where I first learned about this bird. Glad the conservation efforts are giving results! 🎉
These videos are so fun to watch since its just a documentary but on crack
Kakapo the real life version of a minecraft fox, no love without berries
They are such silly cuties. Glad they're working on saving them
Thank you for another banger bro.
In german the name translates directly into "poopy butt". So there is that.
Bro really failed to hit and then pulled up skibidi toilets
you ruined the video
Discovered this channel today.might be the best thing that happened to me today
Sirocco needs to be put on a list yooooo.
fr
Top 10 birds of all time
5:22 we all have heard of bestiality. But have you ever heard of REVERSE bestiality?!
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌 😂
Another banger educational vid. Consider posting clips from each video to shorts (and tiktok and insta) to get some more attention.
Yeah, please wait a little longer.
They'll clone the Dodo soon enough maybe faster then I getting my pet Raptorchicken
7:16 Now why did you have to go and do that to us!
Excellent, I was looking for a new channel to binge obsessively
I'm booming all over this video and not stopping
the problem with new zealand is that all our cool birds are either endangered or on the verge of extinction
Definite SamO’Nella vibe - and I mean that as a compliment.
I think you show the appropriate amount of concern.
This a great video for so few subs. I can see this channel going places. Subbed.
6:38 keep your doors locked at night 🤟🤟
😭😭😭
Funfact: Kakapo is German for Poopoobutt
It's Maori for parrot night
Just came across you channel. Excited to see where it goes!
3:20 Best part of the Video. 🤣🤣 Love from India 🤣🤣
Imagine Sirocco just showing up to your door and be like: “Hi I’m your new neighbor and I’m here to tell you that I’m registered as a sex offender.”
I’d run for my god damn life!
finally a new good channel. You go girl!
This … this is how I choose to process information. Great channel!
Great stuff! Thanks for making the video!
Bro don't ever stop😂😂😂, you funny af. Big Ups From South Africa
Dont stop making vids omg ur awesome
job title: gaslighting endangered parrot
I finally found this channel again YAYYY
Save the Kakapo ! poor birdie. ^___^
Actually one of my favorite parrots. I like only kea more
This is literally just Re:Dodo but with the dodo's actually making a recovery
Lol at wearing the bird helmet
... Could he be the one? Is this man the heir to the throne of O'Nella?
They should look into the hats they use for California Condor... sessions.
Could have saved problems. Well, maybe if they also included a Nintendo Switch for something to do as the events happen.
Maybe have a power adapter on hand...
This video is too good not to be viral
A treat every time.
So many nights in the Southern Alps hearing that mating call
Lol nah mate, these guys are all on predator free off shore islands.. none living in the alps
@@felha851can confirm. OP was hearing something else (kea?).
This is qualibility content i sub
Ah yes, the Habsburg of the animals kingdom
It’s like…pandas but birds. Dinosaur Panda
Kakapos are my favorite animal, they are just so goofy and cute.
Imagine being a Bird Tha can t fly
(Also 🥝)
They were some of the most common large herbivores so cut them some slack
@@trilobite3120 ye
This is really well made 👍
Isn't there also a meat eating parrot in Kiwiland?
Kea
Omnivorous I believe but yes the Kea is at least partially carnivorous.
There have been instances of kea finding sheep that were stuck in deep snow, then sitting on them and digging into their backs to eat the fat around their kidneys - often while the sheep were still alive. Up until some time in the 70s, farmers were allowed to shoot kea. There was a bounty paid by the government on kea beaks, and there was even a special classification for "kea guns" (basically a sawn off shotgun) in our firearms legislation. Now they're endangered.
And here I was, thinking the Kea is the only annoying green parrot in NZ
Petition for WTC to make his next video on kakapo's crackhead cousin - the kea
They are adorable i love them
omg I really enjoyed this video. Thx
THEY CAN FLOAT THROUGH THE AIR
AND CLIMB UP TREES
This bird has quite an unfortunate name. It happens to be "shit ass" in German.
last time I was in kiwi land I saw a kakapo chasing some workers down the road , it was amusing
Fun fact, there is another version of the ejaculation helmet called the F hat that was used to collect peregrine falcon semen
I'll wait 🤣 love the sense of humor
3:29 jesus
I love Kakapo they are so cute lol
the kakapo domesticated itself, just let us adopt them as pets to save them from extinction.
Yeah now we just gotta bring back the dodo
Kakapos are the closest thing we have do Dodos today
Probably my favourite parrot tbh
Kākāpō - the avian baby boomer.
Been in NZ for 40+yrs learnt some new stuff like Maori
I would die for this bird. They’re so cute it’s painful
Don’t mess with our moss chickens.
just woke up, less go🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
MORE KIWI BIRDS LOL LESGO this shi bussin
as a wise man once said "Lit" tm
Wasn't this the parrot that shagged the cameraman?
