Mō te wāhi ki te whakaputa uri, kāore te kākāpō e mahi poka noa. He mōhio ia he pai ake te tau humi hei whakapakeke uri, nō reira ka tatari kia matomato rā anō te tupu o te kai, ā, hei reira tahuri ai ki te whakaipoipo (HM 4/1998:4). / With regard to producing offspring, the kākāpō does not do it randomly. It knows that years of abundance are better to raise offspring and so it waits until the growth of food is lush and then sets about courtship.
