The Kakapo

• The Kakapo use their short wings for balance and support rather than flapping.
• Their feathers are much softer than any other birds because they do not need to be strong and stiff enough to support flight.
• Even though they can’t fly they manage to get around.
• The Kakapo has strong legs which make them good hiking and climbing legs.
• On the ground they move around jog-like gait.
