New Zealand: Kakapo

 Today I got two postcards: one from New Zealand and one from Spain.

The card from New Zealand shows a Kakapo. The Kakapo is a flightless and nocturnal parrot endemic to New Zealand. The Kakapo is also the heaviest parrot of the World. The Kakapo is endangered. The Kakapo on the card is called Sirocco. He is world-famous because of his cheeky antics. He is the ambassador for his species and New Zealand's official Spokesbird for Conversation.


Stamps:
New Zealand Coastlines-Castlepoint (from set of five) (issued 04-09-2013)
Construction of a Nation-Villa (from set of five) (issued 05-03-2014)


Thank You very much Sharon!
