According to this kakapo website, there are only 62 of these green little guys left! One of the oldest parrots, it was an intregal part of Maori culture. Some folktales even attributed the kakapo with the ability to foresee the future.This magical bird is greeting us in Maori, telling us a simple hello, kia ora.
