New Zealand’s kakapo parrots, after four years, are breeding again due to abundant fruit, with up to 83 females expected to hatch chicks.
New Zealand’s critically endangered kakapo parrot has entered its first breeding season in four years, with mating activity detected December 29, 2025, following a rare rimu fruit abundance.
The population of 236 birds—including 83 breeding-age females—could produce the highest number of chicks since records began.
This marks the 13th breeding event since the Kākāpō Recovery Programme began in 1995.
Conservation efforts are shifting toward lower intervention, including fewer nest checks, more natural hatching, reduced feeding, and allowing some chicks to remain unnamed to restore natural behaviors.
First chicks are expected in mid-February.
