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'.
In 2001 there were 62 kakapo. But over the 2001/2002 summer 24 kakapo chicks were born. Then there were 86 kakapo! Sadly in July 2004 three kakapo girls died (listed below). So now there are 83. The list below was updated in July 2004.

Kakapo live on Maud Island, Codfish/Whenua Hou Island, Chalky/Te Kakahu Island.
