Welcome to the Kakapo website
This website is about the treasure in New Zealand - Kakapo introduction and protection.
The kakapo is a unique bird
The kakapo is one of the rarest parrots in the world:
- It's the world's heaviest parrot
- It's possibly the oldest living bird and
- It has a subsonic mating boom that can travel several kilometres
And that's just a few things that make kakapo so special!
The kakapo can only be found in New Zealand and every year countless people from around the world - dozens of hard-working volunteers - give their time and energy trying to save the kakapo from the brink of extinction.
Most of the Kakapo Recovery takes place on remote, predator-free islands off southern New Zealand.
The modifications I made to my website are:
- Inserted an image as background and three external hyperlinks in "index.html"
- Added background color in "thenandnow.html"
- Added the logo on all pages and used hyperlink on the logo to link back to the home page when clicking on it (except home page)
