The kākāpō is the world's heaviest and only flightless parrot (Credit: Mike Bodie / NZ Department of Conservation)

If you have felt the skies above you seem increasingly empty of chirping birds, you are not alone. A 2018 study by BirdLife International revealed that 40 percent of the world’s 11,000 bird species are in decline, and one in eight bird species is threatened with global extinction. Now, some scientists are using cutting-edge technology to revive the critically-endangered kākāpō; if successful, the techniques used may help save other bird species as well.

      I LOVE these birds! They are SOOOO CUTE!!! When I saw them, I thought that they were probably hunted to extinction due to there size and their (possibly) high fat content. I do believe that they will recover soon. It would be a shame to never see those adorable little faces again...
