The kākāpō (Strigops habroptila) is an iconic flightless, nocturnal parrot that is endemic to New Zealand. The kākāpō is critically endangered with a population of only 149 individuals.

I chose to design and build a kākāpō as I am passionate about New Zealand and its unique wildlife. Weighing in at whopping 251 grams, this build is made of 473 parts and measures 10cm x 22cm x 9cm (or 10cm x 22cm x 22cm with the wings fully extended).

Features posable wings and tail feathers

Free-standing

Great display piece, or fully swoopable if you're into breaking rules

The eyes are printed tiles as found in the Brickheadz sets

The most partying parrot on the internet!

Great for both conservation and conversation:

Mate - "Hey bro, what's that thing?"

You - "Lego kākāpō."

Mate - "Sweet as."

You too can contribute to kākāpō recovery and conservation by adopting your own kākāpō

Skraak!
