Strange birds ~ the Kakapo

"Strangely, not only has it forgotten how to fly, it also seems to have forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Legend has it that a seriously worried kakapo will sometimes run up a tree and jump out of it, whereupon it flies like a brick and lands in a graceless heap on the ground."

Not sure if it's airing everywhere in the US since I didn't see it on the PBS listings, but locally they're running this show on Kakapos tonight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/lastchancetosee/sites/animals/kakapo

It's suspected the Kakapo has a life expectancy of around 90 years! Unfortunately, there are only about 91 of of them left in the world at this point... Here's hoping we can maintain a safe and nurturing environment for them so they can hang on and their unique charm will never be lost to this world.
