Freak of the Week: Kākāpō!
🕑 Added 2025-03-10 21:52:42 +0000 UTCGood Monday my Garfreaks!!! Today I'm gonna build an ikea shelf for my kitchen. Please everyone help charge my spirit bomb so I can succeed, and pray that there will be no one single missing piece.... monkey's paw curls
This week's freak was suggested by Icky Batty, Spricket Springs, and Brachy Donger. You guys all have a silly first and last name, a sign of impeccable taste and prestige. As evident by this funny lil guy!! HUGE fan of funny bird. That video of one humping someone's head? Iconic. A true freak. I do that lil dance like every day. What a great bird!! Thank you as always for the wonderful suggestions!

Seconding this! The acct is wonderful. I have dreams of volunteering to do field work with them.

It’s like a meme now. It’s funny cause it’d be a dream blunt rotation if it took place inside my own home instead of a fragile ecosystem 😔

Ooo that IS a fun fact! That’s so cool!

I follow the Instagram kakapo_recovery!!! They give you updates on the birds and some fun facts about certain ones!! They all have names and are so so cute!!!

I love these guys! Fun fact: conservationists working to help the kakapo can tell if it's going to be a breeding year by looking at how much rimu fruit will be ripening. On mast years with lots of rimu fruit, the kakapo will breed.

YESSSSS MY BABIES THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!!! I love Kākāpōs so so much and have been following their progress of re-establishing their population!!!! Every single Kākāpō is tracked and every egg is specially taken care of so they all have a great chance at hatching and growing up!!!!
