Kakapo! NZ native parrot, likes humping nature show presenters heads

'god he has sharp claws' (that's what she said)

He looks all ready to shag some poor unsuspecting guy's head. *snicker*
But that's a "K" bird, isn't it?..what species is this?

Birdie num num! Birdie num num! *offers some seeds*

Really love the coloring on it.

Reading these comments I am very much now convinced most people have never heard of kakapos until Siccoro humped David Attenborough's head.
Although yeah, I admit, I'm confused...unless you mean the Maori meaning of the name ("night parrot"). And I'm sure those aren't kea markings (or a kea beak, for that matter!)

I hadn't heard of Sirocco, but I had heard of (and even studied a bit) Kakapos. When I DID learn of Sirocco, the whole thing just got funnier and funnier: that whole 'shagging' scene was a setup, of course. Sirocco had been captive-raised and imprinted on humans, and had a...thing...for humping their heads. ^.^

Yeah, poor guy is a confused bebe, but then again, as a human-imprinted bird he does also just make a good "PR bird" for meeting humans...shagging aside. (And for parrot owners, especially those who own hand-raised birds or just birds very bonded to their humans and think they're their flock, that kind of behaviour shouldn't be a suprise, in fact, finding out he's imprinted should make it all make sense now... ) >.>;;

Well, yes. A fairly large part of parrot bonding in general is sexual, even if it doesn't involve sexual activity at the moment. It's something clued-in parrot owners know but the public really doesn't. Birds "pair-bond" for a reason. ^.^ And parrots, in general, tend to be like little children: if it's funny or feels good, they're inclined to do it!

Sirocco may be silly about his fetishes (and he's FAR from the first parrot I've seen that has them!) but I bet he lives a pretty happy life otherwise with all the attention he gets.

I've heard of kakapos LONG (as in "years") before that one humped David's head. But it doesn't make it any less funny. :D

I'm sorry if that sounded like a bit of a dickish comment, there's just always a part of me that's like "kakapos are awesome and deserve attention for a LOT of reasons besides the humping thing!" mainly more because I feel like people never bothered to learn anything more about them and they're just "the humping parrots!" It is still freaking hilarious I won't lie and I guess maybe I shouldn't expect so much from what IS FA, after all... :\

(Would elementary-school-aged me who just read the book "Last Chance to See" and fell in love with keas and kakapos giggle her head off at that clip? OF COURSE! But then you'd have to explain to her that Douglas Adams died by then and then she'd be a much less happy person.)

KAKAPO.

<333333

I dun get it.

I'm with everybody else, looks like a Kakapo to me.

It can't be a kakapo if it's name begins with "N!"

Outworked bird outposts

KyooOOOoooot!

It's a night parrot :D

Mein gott, the only proof that they're still out there within the last 100 years is a dead one... poor bebes. That IS obscure...not for reasons I'm fond of, I admit..
(I still say it is WAS confusing considering "kakapo" translated to "night parrot" XD;... wrong continent, though.

The ancient owl parrot, the mysterious New Zealand kakapo!!! I wish they recover from extintion edge someday!
