older news (from September) but not mentioned here before and definitely worth mentioning: Superstar kakapo Sirocco on show in Auckland | Stuff.co.nz
WOW!, a real zoo rarity, what a great idea to exhibit him in the zoo, bring to 100'000,s the plight of these endearing bird to such a wider audience of mainly New Zealanders, and hopefully inspire even 1% of visitors to act in some way to protect and save the kakapo. Well done Auckland zoo and wildlife authorities! I saw the last chance to see, programme featuring Sirocco, hilarious! Thanks for the info Chlidonias.
looks like he has been and gone. Auckland Zoo Meet kakapo Sirocco this Conservation Week As well as that infamous scene from the BBC's Last chance to see
hehe i did like that scene ^^ but sirocco only was in Auckland during the hand rearing stage and abit after that
Sirocco was hand-reared at Auckland Zoo twelve years ago, but he was back at the zoo for advocacy purposes on 14-23 September this year (which is why I started this thread)
