hello friend!

do you have any facts about ground parrots? Kākāpōs are cool :)

Thank you!!!

On another Kakapo kick again I see? here you go buddy.

When it comes to birds, kakapos are at the top of their weight class. Adult males weigh more than four pounds (2 kilograms), and they're about two feet (. 6 meters) long. On average, males weigh about 4.4 to 8 pounds (2 to 4 kilograms) and females weigh 2.2 to 5.5 pounds (1 to 2.5 kilograms)

Kakapos like many parrots are quite long lived. They can live as long as 90-100 years with an average life span of 60 years.

Male kakapos have a large thoracic air sac which they are able to inflate to make their loud booming noises. If the air is still enough, the sound can be heard from as far as 3 miles (5 kilometers) away.

Hope you like 'em! Have a good day friend.

'Noisy' prompt for sketchadayapp. Kakapos are the loudest bird. The male's noisy mating call can reach up to 132dB and be heard over 7km away

Finally finished redesigning my headcanon line up of Sonic Flickies using the old Sonic 3D Blast designs as the foundation.

Each one is partially based off a real bird:

Blue flicky: parakeet Pink flicky: hummingbird Green flicky: kakapo Red flicky: woodpecker

I plan to have another post with more information in the style of a nature journal going into detail about each species of flicky and some other fun world building bits related to other sonic characters. Hope you enjoy! :)

Kākāpō - a very endangered flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Kākāpō courtship revolves around a polygynous lek system, in which males gather to perform loud, deep booming songs in an attempt to attract a mate. Timelapse under the cut!
