How different is the kakapo from other parrots in terms of physical appearance?

Answer 1

The kakapo is one of the world's heaviest parrots. Unlike other parrots, the kakapo has large yellow-green feathers on its face and red feathers running across its head. The species is also flightless, with short wings and wide feet for climbing trees.

Answer 2

Kakapos are quite different from other parrots in terms of physical appearance. They are flightless and have a rotund, owl-like body shape, with a greenish-yellow plumage mottled with black and brown. They have a relatively short, curved beak and large, expressive eyes. They are also relatively large, weighing up to 4 kg (9 lbs) and standing about 60 cm (2 ft) tall.
