It has an exotic appearance with a crest of feathers on the top of its head. It feeds on leaves and has a unique digestive system among birds, fermenting its food like ruminants. Behaviour. The chicks have claws on their wings that help them climb trees, reminiscent of ancient reptiles. Wilson's bird-of-paradise. Appearance.

The kakapo is extremely rare, with only a few hundred individuals in New Zealand. Crested serima. Song. Known for its loud and shrill song, which echoes over long distances.
