If he does that to a man, just imagine what happens when a cat or another introduced predator shows up.
Most birds run from cats.
This one wants to hump them.

Might be one reason they were featured in his book and then the subsequent follow-up documentary. :)
kakapo are notoriously shy and also nocturnal –
i would lay dollar$ to donut$ this bird was human-reared for release, and very likely by this particular person.
just a gut-hunch – but i’d bet it. ;–)

I was just making a joke.
But kakapo are also well-known for being predator naive.
ah! Gotcha, joke. :o sorry. i did think U were serious,
my mistake.
he’d have a hard-time filming it in the dark – they don’t nest in backyards, LOL. no handy artificial light sources.
also they nest in burrows, and a burrow is very hard to film anything in –
the many species who are pathetically predator-naive are unfortunate; the dodo was one, and hungry sailors slaughtered them with sticks, or caught them by hand + wrung their necks.
many island species are woefully naive – and cats wreak bloody havoc, when they get there.
penguins still try to untie shoe-laces on the feet of videographers, and i find it touching.
