David Attenbourough and Kakapo's
Now Playing: Within Temptation - Memories

The Life of Birds by David Attenbourough tells the sad story of the nearly extinct Kakapo, a rare New Zealand Parrot, flightless and nocturnal. It's thumping cries in the middle of the night as it calls for a mate that is not there any longer. Sad, touching and with a slight bright end to the story. It turns out there were a few Kakapo left and every effort was being made to save the species. I mention this because the BBC has a story about the gradual building up of the population of Kakapo. Kakapo baby birds Have been born in good numbers and it's nice to see these fat little things rebounding.
