"#NewZealand's critically endangered #kakapo, started breeding last week for the first time in four years... Only 236 of the parrots remain in three breeding populations on some of the most remote southern islands... That includes 83 breeding age females, with high hopes this year could bring the most hatched chicks since records began... The first chicks are expected to hatch in mid-February"
