Seven Male Kakapo to be moved

TV.nz reports that seven male kakapo are to be moved to a new predator free island.

With the population soaring, seven male New Zealand kakapo are being shifted from their present home to give the females some breathing space on Codfish Island.

The males will live together on another remote predator-free island, and it is believed that removing the excess males from Codfish Island will benefit the breeding birds there.
