Kakapo Names

Kakapo Names

	There are so few kakapo that they have all been given names. Some of the names might make you laugh because they are a bit odd - like the name 'Gumboots' or 'Sinbad'.
This list was provided by DoC staff in August 2001. Remember that the list may change if more kakapo are born or if a kakapo dies.

There are 9 kakapo living on Maud Island.
FEMALES Kuia (Flossies chick 1998) Boomer (1999 chick x Pearl)	MALES Richard-Henry Smoko Piripi Stumpy Gulliver (Flossies Chick 1998) Trevor (1999 chick x Pearl) Morehu (1999 chick x Pearl)

DoC staff have separated some of the male kakapo from the others as part of the kakapo breeding programme. They have been moved to a secret location where they are happy and safe. Imagine going on holiday to a secret location - that would be cool!
