A kākāpō for prompt 17 of the @wildlifewednesdaychallenge. Also known as the owl parrot, these large, heavy, flightless, nocturnal parrots from New Zealand are critically endangered, with 252 living individuals all of whom are named, tagged and confined to small islands where all predators have been removed. Once widespread across New Zealand, the kākāpō suffered from overhunting from the Maori but was almost wiped out by the introduction of predators such as ferrets, rats, cats and stoats during British colonisation. The kākāpō is up to 64cm long and can weigh 4kg. It lacks the keel on its breastbone for attaching flight muscles but uses it's wings for balance and as a parachute when descending from trees. The kākāpō is an excellent climber and can ascend high into the tree canopy hunting for fruits, seeds, leaves and shoots. As with many parrots, the kākāpō is long lived and can survive for at least 100 years. They are adapted for a nocturnal lifestyle, with forward facing eyes, whiskers and a facial disk similar to an owl, which directs the quietest of sounds into their ears. I used the contents of a recent #ScrawlrBox to paint this bird, putting the #Pintor neon paint pens to good use. I added a black and red paint pen from other boxes and the original reference is from the New Zealand government's Department for Conservation's Flickr page, found via Wikimedia Commons. @ecowarrior8888 @lizzywatercolor #WildlifeWednesdayChallenge #Kakapo #OwlParrot #NewZealandWildlife #parrot #bird #BirdArt #BirdIllustration #Illustration #IllustrationArt #AnimalArtist #MixedMediaArt #PaintPens #AcrylicPaintPens https://www.instagram.com/p/Chx8o4Io-C-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kakapo wishes you a happy Friday!🦜 Kakapos, also known as Owl Parrots, are large, nocturnal, flightless parrots endemic to New Zealand. They are extinct throughout their natural range, due to the introduction of mammalian predators, and now only exist on three small managed islands. Conservation efforts have helped slowly increase the population to about 125 individuals. . . . . . #kakapo #owlparrot #nightparrot #endemicbirds #newzealandwildlife #endangeredanimals #edgespecies #parrotlove #fatbird #birdlove #needlefelted #fibreart #fibreartist #textilearts #naturalhistory #sciart #kawaiicute #cutestuff #arttoy #artdolls #softsculpture #animalfigurine #abmcrafty #createmakeshare #handmadeincanada #yyzartist #wildwhimsywoolies https://www.instagram.com/wildwhimsywoolies/p/Bwu5x3rARwL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ezbxznqshwna

Kakapo, the flightless nocturnal parrot of New Zealand, now critically endangered due to introduced predators to their natural habitat in which this little fellow had been thriving despite being a little relaxed, somewhat plump (low basal metabolic rate...😄) and freezing when threatened. Besides looking like a victorian gentleman with its whisker-like facial feathers the kakapo has a pleasant odour that is said to resemble honey. What's not to love? #kakapo #kākāpō #owlparrot #nocturnal #slow #antique #victorianize #fioniverse

Inktober 2017 | Day 28 - Strigops - - "The Kakapo is one of New Zealand's unique treasures with fewer than 160 known surviving birds. It is listed internationally as a critically endangered species. Early Polynesian settlers hunted Kakapo for its plumage and meat. From the 1840s, European settlers not only hunted the bird, they cleared the land and destroyed its habitat. Most devastating to Kakapo survival was the introduction of predators such as rats, cats and stoats. Today predators still remain a big threat to the Kakapo. But also disease, genetic inbreeding and infertility threatens its survival." - Department of Conservation - - Find out how you can help at doc.govt.nz - - - - - - - - #myart #original #art #inktober2017 #inktober #inktober17 #ink #traditional #traditionalart #fineliners #strigops #kakapo #nightparrot #owlparrot #newzealand #birds #endangeredspecies #criticallyendangered #nature #animals #nativebirds #environment #important #motherearth #wildlife #issues #predators #habitatloss #disease
