Douglas Adams on the kākāpō

Department of Conservation —  13/02/2014

There’s nothing quite like a kākāpō to make you smile…

“It seems that not only has the kākāpō  forgotten how to fly, but it has forgotten that it has forgotten how to fly. Apparently a seriously worried kākāpō 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.” ~ Douglas Adams

Have a terrific Thursday!

    A lovely laugh – and the clip of the kakapo skipping through the bush is very endearing too 🙂
