Artist's commentary
[ID: an illustration of a mottled green bird standing on a pink background and facing to the right. It has a branch with red berries in its mouth, and green leaves surround it. End.]
Kākāpō - a very endangered flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Kākāpō courtship revolves around a polygynous lek system, in which males gather to perform loud, deep booming songs in an attempt to attract a mate. Timelapse under the cut!
