Seems pretty dangerous. The main islands of New Zealand are full of pests/ introduced predators like rats, stoats, ferrets, possums, hedgehogs, and feral cats.
Hopefully they will put these flightless parrots inside a predator-proof fence, or their days are numbered.
Seeing the collective conservation efforts of multiple successive governments to eliminate all non-native predators from New Zealand by 2050 is really inspiring.
I’ll always take any chance to plug Last Chance to See by Douglas Adams which is a fantastic book that has a section about the Kakapo conservation efforts.
