About

A timely insight into one of the most extraordinary birds which have ever lived.

Documents the dedicated work of Wildlife Service Staff and other naturalists in the long running battle to save the Kakapo spanning 3 decades.

Dave’s book links historical knowledge of the kakapo and its ways with more recent studies of the bird’s behaviour and the attempts being made right now to save the species. Many New Zealanders will have heard (courtesy of the National Programme’s morning bird calls) the booming of the male kakapo as he attempts to attract a mate.  Few will know that the bird is able to keep up this remarkable serenade for 17 hours, at 1000 booms per hour!

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images.
