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.

    It kind of looks like my cat when we put him in a sweater, but a bird. He hated us for like a week. 😾

                I really hope that this parrot stays alive because this will affect the food chain a lot.
