The population of New Zealand's endangered flightless parrot kakapo has increased by 25 per cent in the past year, bringing it up to 252 birds.Conservation efforts have helped the rare parrot population recover
A good breeding season and success with artificial insemination were behind the increase in kakapos, the New Zealand Department of Conservation said.The problem has been exacerbated by inbreeding, very low fertility — only 50 per cent of eggs are fertilised — and because they only breed every two or three years when native rimu trees fruit.
From the various videos i have seen they would be good pets. So a landholder who looked after them and their habitat would have a good source of income if they were a restricted pet
