List of Critically Endangered birds
- Saving The Remarkable Kakapo Bird From Extinction
- The largest of all parrot species, flightless, nocturnal and plant-eating, the kakapo used to be found all over New Zealand. But ecological changes, habitat clearance and the introduction of predatory mammals combined to cause a catastrophic decline in numbers to only 51 in 1995.
Another factor in their near extinction is that kakapo breed infrequently. This is because they rear their young on the fruits of native trees. These trees - pink pine and rimu - only fruit every 2-6 years and kakapo only breed on those occasions. During the lean years in between, the kakapo's natural diet consists of coarse leaves, grasses and herbs which lack adequate nutrients for the rearing of chicks. - Americas top 10 Endangered Birds
- The birds are presented in order of increasing population size,with the rarest bird or the bird with the smallest population first.

Thirty years ago researchers discovered a previously unknown species of bird in the rain-soaked and remote mountains of Hawaii.

This fast-paced account of their work, done in one of the world's most inhospitable environments, describes a stirring fight for survival.
