![]() ![]() Photography by Nic BishopIs Lisa a winged wierdo? A psycho-parrot? No, everything she’s doing is perfectly normal-for a kakapo (KAR-ka-poe), that is. ![]() She’ll sleep hidden from view during the day. Tonight, she’ll thrash noisily through the underbrush in the dark, looking for food. Even though her wings are healthy, she can’t fly. ![]() Does she take off and soar from tree to tree? No-this bird travels only on foot. Reaching the surface, she begins her nightly explorations of the forest. No, despite the late hour, this huge, soft, moss-green bird, looking somewhat like a parakeet who has eaten one side of the mushroom in Alice in Wonderland and grown into an eight-pound giant, decides this is a great time to waddle out of her nest-a nest that’s not in a tree, like a normal parrot’s, but underground. You’d think any self-respecting parrot would be asleep. Chapter 1: The Strangest Parrot in the World ![]()
