The largest parrot scientists know of is the kakapo, a flightless bird that also lives in New Zealand.

科学家已知的最大鹦鹉是鸮鹦鹉，一种同样生活在新西兰的不会飞的鸟。

Birds like the kakapo and the Moluccan cockatoo have also laid claim to the loudness title.

尖叫鹦鹉和摩鹿加凤头鹦鹉等鸟也曾获得“叫声嘹亮”的称号。

When the kakapo needs to get down he uses its wings to glide to the forest floor.

当鸮鹦鹉需要下来的时候，它就会用它的翅膀滑翔到森林地面上。

Birds like the screaming kakapo and the Moluccan Cockatoo have also laid claim to the loudness title.

尖叫鸮鹦鹉和摩鹿加凤头鹦鹉等鸟也曾有“叫声嘹亮”的头衔。

So things like cats, dogs and so kakapo almost became extinct.

诸如猫和狗，因此鸮鹦鹉几乎灭绝。

People cleared the forest which they live in, and people brought mammals with them which predated the kakapo.

人们清除了它们居住的森林，并且带来了可以猎食鸮鹦鹉的哺乳动物。

The kakapo used to be one of the most common birds in New Zealand, but when people arrived things started to go wrong.

鸮鹦鹉曾是新西兰最常见的鸟类之一，而当人类踏足此地时，事情便开始出了岔子。

We optimize the feeding so each kakapo gets its own individual diet, the right amount of food for that particular bird.

我们优化了喂养方式，每只鸮鹦鹉都有单独的规定饮食，为特定的鸟只提供适量的食物。

Scientists estimate that a chick hatches from only a third of all the kakapo eggs laid, but they're making a slow come back.

科学家们估计，在所有鸮鹦鹉产的卵中，只有三分之一的雏鸟会孵出，但它们的数量还是在逐步恢复中。

Well every kakapo has a transmitter on it for example so we can track where it is and what it's activity is.

举个例子，每个鸮鹦鹉上都有一个发射器，因此我们可以跟踪它的位置以及它的活动。

Today Andrew's team on the island to check on the kakapo they have electronically tagged, finding these supremely camouflaged birds is not an easy task.

今天，Andrew 的团队在岛上检查他们用电子标记的鸮鹦鹉，要找到这些优秀的伪装者并非易事。

The kakapo's wings are too short for the bird to get airborne, so instead they rely on the beak and claws to climb up trees.

鸮鹦鹉的翅膀太短了，无法升空，因此，他们依靠喙和爪来爬树。

So we introduced ferrets to control the rabbits; but they too spread like wildfire, generally ignoring the rabbits while gobbling up rare species like the now nearly-extinct kakapo.

于是，我们引进了雪貂来控制兔子；但它们也像野火一样蔓延开来，一般不理会兔子，而把现在几乎绝迹的卡卡波等珍稀物种吞噬殆尽。

Our ultimate goal is to return kakapo to the mainland of New Zealand, so people in New Zealand near the cities can hear kakapo booming like people used to hundreds of years ago.

我们的最终目标是将鸮鹦鹉带回新西兰大陆，那样，在城市附近的新西兰人就可以听到鸮鹦鹉的叫声了，就像百年前的人们听过的一样。

" So you have species like the kiwi, the kakapo, kea, the kaka, the takahe—all with nice Maori names, but all in danger of going extinct." Luis Valente, an evolutionary biologist at the Natural History Museum of Berlin.

“所以你有像几维鸟、鸮鹦鹉、鹦鹉、卡卡鸟、塔卡赫鸟这样的物种——它们都有很好听的毛利名字，但都面临灭绝的危险。”柏林自然历史博物馆的进化生物学家路易斯·瓦伦特 (Luis Valente) 说。
