This little gentleman is a parrot with a face that resembles an owl, and these very rare owl (xiao) parrots live in New Zealand. Their numbers are rapidly decreasing and are officially listed as "critically endangered species". That's why they jumped into action for a bird, and the rescuers of the entire group jumped into action. The Parrot is a unique, wonderful New Zealand bird. The recovery of the parrot is due to an organization dedicated to saving endangered animals, which pay close attention, help and increase their numbers. For the sake of the parrot, it had to endure an isolated location and bad weather in the southern hinterland of New Zealand.
Owl parrots are large, flightless, and live on the ground at night. They are on the brink of extinction. About 125 are still alive.
So when this parrot mother crushed her egg, her keepers tried to preserve it.
The caretaker uses a mild adhesive to glue the eggshells together, hoping that the membrane inside and the parrot baby will not be damaged.
The only thing they can do is pray and wait.

In 2014, the first baby owl parrot hatched.
Smile at the camera!
The little girl is maintaining strong growth. Good luck will always accompany it.

About the Owl Parrot
1, the world's only parrot that can't fly, the parrot can't fly, but the wings are not degenerate, their wings can be used to glide, usually climbing when used to grasp the balance of the body. Because it can't fly, the feathers are very soft and mainly play a role in keeping warm.
2, the owl parrot is frightened and will stand still, don't think that they are timid, and their legs are soft when they encounter danger. In fact, the feathers of the parrot are very easy to integrate into the surrounding background, if you encounter danger, you run, but expose the target, this trick is very effective for eagles, but when you encounter the above-mentioned cats and mice, you will stop eating, the sense of smell of these two animals is very sensitive, if you stay there and don't understand, it is equivalent to actively sending it to their mouths!
Handsome, like an alien creature on an alien planet.
3, Owl Parrot is a nocturnal owl parrot during the day hidden in trees or grass rest. They come out at night to forage, and their food is mainly all kinds of fruits and pollen, so there is no need to come out during the day to find bugs, and it is safer at night!
4, the owl parrot smells very fragrant owl parrot smell is also very sensitive, the body emits the fragrance of flowers and fruits, this fragrance can attract companions, but unfortunately other mammals also like this fragrance!
5, very friendly human first owl parrot to raise them as pets, because this bird is not afraid of people, perhaps because tens of thousands of years of life have not seen humans, or because they have seen humans they reflexively stay still, so people think it is friendly, who knows? British ornithologist George Edward Grey describes the parrot as more like a pet dog than any other bird!
The parrot will rub its mouth on you like a puppy.
6, endangered species Through people's unremitting efforts, as of the beginning of 2012, there are only 126 parrots in the wild. So the possibility of extinction is still very high.
7, the longest-lived bird? Nature has previously introduced an albatross in its 60s, which is said to be the longest-lived bird on record, but Wikipedia says that parrots generally live longer than 60 years. So here's what I say: Many of the world's best in the biological world are unreliable!
The Owl Is a long-distance walker.
8 , Owl Parrot is very strong Unlike other birds, Owl Parrots can store a lot of fat in the body. The Owl is also the heaviest parrot in the world (to be examined): about 24 inches tall (61 cm) tall and weighing about 4–9 lbs (1.8 kg – 4.1 kg).
9, male owl parrot is also a performance artist and many other male birds, male owl parrot also has a loud "singing voice" and beautiful "dance steps", in the breeding season, male owl parrot will walk 6 km (how good it is to have wings!). Arrive at a specific stage performance where all the male birds compete and their calls can travel up to 5 kilometers. The show lasts 8 hours and is staged every night for 2-4 months.
