  • is this real? I'm skeptical

  • @sulljoh1 It's a real bird call.

  • @hellonearthisman Right my bad. But not a real Kakapo.

  • @sulljoh1 It's a real one, recorded in the wild. I like the booming noise they make.

  • I would love to hear the "boom" this bird creates when mating but it was nice to have this clip at any rate.

  • I think NZ Archives has some more recordings but they are not in digital format, yet.

  • I love their noises. They are the cutest things, ever.

  • @sulljoh1

    It's real. They spread out their chests on the ground and give a deep, strong "HUMMMM!!" sound that can be heard for a really long stretch.

  • Wow, I might be a bit distressed to hear that alone in the forrest at night.

  • @SirenaCansone that is the boom - sounding like a digger-ado or blowing over a bottle opening.
