Enemy conspirators Stephen Fry and zoologist Mark Carwardine recently traveled to New Zealand in search of an endangered, flightless parrot known as the Kakapo. But, rather than killing the bird and serving him up with a side of veggies and mash potatoes, the men simply aimed to document the rare parrot for the world to experience and appreciate.
What the world experienced, however, was a cold dose of reality as the Kakapo proceeded to brutally rape Carwardine’s head.
The Kakapo’s ‘O’ face is pretty scary. Can you imagine the vulgar things it would have said to Carwardine if it could speak like other parrots?

Ranger John, these guys should be thankful they didn’t come across New Zealand’s OTHER parrot, the destructive, super-intelligent kea. They’re also carnivorous and have been known to use their wickedly hooked beaks to tear the flesh off live sheep as well as to remove weather-stripping from car windshields to get at the food inside. Compared to the kea, the kakapo is a benign creature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRW4ztbY8Ok
