Daily dose of adorability

Taking a cue from Bob Harris and his pudublogging, I will now provide your daily ration of cute with the following image of a kakapo:


You have to admit they're the cuddliest looking giant flightless parrots you've ever seen.

Kakapos are found in New Zealand, where there are only 86 of them left (see http://www.kakapo.net/). The problem with being a giant flightless parrot with an extremely loud mating call and a very distinctive smell is that those things make you a very appealing meal for a large number of predators. However, word is that the kakapos are hatching chicks, so there will be more very cute birds on New Zealand. Which is a good thing.
