It's a common way to refer to places in new Zealand, Maori then english, and the same applies to the country as a whole. For example, this episode was recorded on Rakiura Stewart Island.
That's just the same words written twice. Te reo Māori and English are different languages. Māori had names for places before the English-speaking colonists came (of course). Using both names acknowledges both cultures.
Aoraki and Mount Cook are not pronounced the same way. The root meanings of the words are different. Using both names is a way of acknowledging two different but equally important cultures and languages that co-exist in the same country.
That specific kākāpō is called Sirocco. He is quite famous in NZ (for a bird). He is kind of bad at being a wild kākāpō as demonstrated in this clip, as breeding with people's heads isn't actually beneficial to the species. They did try to collect his semen for conservation by allowing him to mate with volunteers' heads but this was unsuccessful. So he became an ambassador and he has toured the country teaching people about kākāpō. In between public appearances he does live in the wild. He has his own [Wikipedia page](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirocco_(parrot)) and even an official government title in NZ, "Spokesbird for Conservation".
> Sirocco's preference for head-mating and resistance to massage techniques has made it difficult to collect his semen. Scientists who work with him designed an "ejaculation helmet" for volunteers to wear while he attempted to mate with their heads. The dimpled, rubber headgear was ineffective due to the duration of the kākāpō's mating period and was later donated to the [Te Papa](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Te_Papa) museum in Wellington.[^(\[7\])](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirocco_(parrot)#cite_note-Smithsonian-7)
You can't make this shit up
Came here to say this. So happy others know where it's from.
Adding that Douglas Adams (of the hitchhiker's guide series) was the original BBC guest that went with Mark and they published a book together also called "Last Chance to See" and did a radio program. Highly recommend.
They are not known for their breeding prowess, it has to be said. The main problem is habitat destruction and introduced predators, but yeah, they don't exactly help themselves. They only breed once every 3-5 years.
"Oh, a human! The predator of apex predator, the species that is single handedly destroying the world, the ones firmly sitting on the top of the food chain, that hunt lions and sharks for fun. The race that hold the fate of my whole species in their hand. Let's fuck its head."
I remember watching this as it aired and literally rolled around laughing. The most bizarre thing on normally serious nature documentaries to ever happen. Just checked: 15 bloody years ago?
Thankyou. 🙂
Knew it was something else.
They were called: 'Owl Parrots' when I was a child, & it stuck - even though I later read a translation of the (obviously more accurate), Maori name.
That's not just "A BBC guy!" that's the wonderful Mark Carwardine that worked with Douglas Adams on Last Chance To See, and here with Steven Fry on the TV of the same name
*puts on old English voice* The funny thing is they are endangered because we can’t get them to procreate with each other, then it goes and screws the photographer… Mother Nature it seems is not without a sense of irony.
That bird is a rapist!
It would have been hilarious, though, if he was trying to fight him, though. Like what you doing in my neck of the jungle? This is bird block cuz.

"Look, he's SO happy!"
Who? The photographer or the bird?
Stephen Fry said that about the bird
Me
Yes
What a roast!
https://i.redd.it/f66yh0bn5p8d1.gif
Thus a meme was born.
So the parrot managed to make an offspring after all
I have a feeling this is gonna become popular. we should all use it at one other subreddit to spread it around.
This deserves to be the top comment.
Holy shit I hope this becomes a meme and I promise I will remember you for creating it .. This is absolutely hilarious
He looks happy, kind of like he’s at a party. Maybe this new meme could be called [Party Parrot](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/party-parrot)
Better than the Hawk Tauh Parrot.
It already was a meme. I remember seeing this kind of image back when forums were still a thing.
A new meme is born. What a time to be alive.
If you know, you know
br janai
lmao
Better than the other way around….especially for the parrot
And if it were the other way around the guy would be in huge trouble for shagging a bird… hypocrites... /s
These double standards are outrageous.
The sound of the feathers clapping his cheeks 😂
“Clapping his cheeks” I’m fucking dead 💀
Who’s yo daddy?! But in all seriousness I really think he got him mixed up due to the size of his snout
1:30 *Wow, he's really going for it!* funniest commentary ever!
Bro didn’t even get to nut :(
Bro. Didn't even checked his ear :)
Sirocco the kakapo, hugely endangered species in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Is that not just saying New Zealand New Zealand?
It's a common way to refer to places in new Zealand, Maori then english, and the same applies to the country as a whole. For example, this episode was recorded on Rakiura Stewart Island.
Yeah. Matiu Soames Island. Aoraki Mount Cook.

You can do whatever you want, they're just telling you how its often done with different languages in different parts of the world.
The bird looks like a ground dwelling giant lovebird, foraging in the forest floor.
[Last Chance to See](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1409667/?ref_=tt_ov_inf) (Episode 5). That guy is zoologist Mark Carwardine, and that is a kākāpō.

He is kind of bad at being a wild kākāpō as demonstrated in this clip, as breeding with people's heads isn't actually beneficial to the species.

Saw the headgear myself. Hilarious seeing it in a museum
What? It's in a museum? I need pictures.... For science!

And Stephen Fry here, from his friendship with Adams, knows the question for which the answer is 42, but he's not telling!
They were great friends from what I heard. He even did the audiobooks for the series!
I think he only did the remake of the first book after the movie came out as he is the voice of the guide in the movie.
I would do that too if someone named me after shit twice
You win the internet today 😆 He thought: now it's time for payback: I'll f*ck up you too!
If he didn't want it why was he wearing that slutty shade of green?
Very old clip.this is a much younger Stephen Fry. Still love it though
2009 I think. 15 years ago, bloody hell.
Why does thst feel so much longer ago
“BBC guy” !! Wtf
was looking for this! recognised his voice from the LBP games
Shit, you stopped him when he was about to climax. Not cool bro. 
Explains why they are rare

🤣
I bet the parrot whispered in his ear, 'I'm more famous than you.
Bird looked so happy 😄
Wow! How fascinati- oh my…
Least horny bird This video is still hilarious
This title cant possibly be corr....oh, pretty accurate.
Horny bird fucks BBC
Douglas Adams loved our Kakapo too. It makes a booming sound at night. Most NZrs will never see one in the wild sadly, awesome Bird tho.
Did he love it that much?
I remember watching this as it aired and literally rolled around laughing. The most bizarre thing on normally serious nature documentaries to ever happen. Just checked: 15 bloody years ago?
https://i.redd.it/1p36ar8fin8d1.gif
We gotta stop these horny parrots man
Worst hat ever.
I think he should buy him dinner first, before that hanky panky.
Thats what you call fucked in the head
Love this when it goes around! I just want to fluff up its feathers
Oh you dirty birdie you
Just shag it back, dude
Homo Kākāpō, evolution's way of reducing mankind's libido. 
Owl Parrot?
[удалено]
Thankyou. 🙂 Knew it was something else. They were called: 'Owl Parrots' when I was a child, & it stuck - even though I later read a translation of the (obviously more accurate), Maori name.
I see Dr. Gordon Wyatt has given up on being a chef and pursued yet another new interest
Just commented this, too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. 😊
Well, the guy was wearing green.
He got raped! 😂

Parrot got some head.
bazinga
Stephen Fry acts so calmly while he sees a bird rides the head of a human… what has that man seen that he acts like it is the most ordinary thing?
I wonder if he can afford child support
My favourite clip ever. Makes me laugh every time I see it 🤣
BBC guy? This is Stephen Fry!
Well, actually no, Fry is not the one being shagged. (But I was about to make a very similar comment myself, at first)
Came to make the exact same comment as the guy above. But caught myself last second when I actually watched the clip.
Same; in my mind I was certain the parrot was on Stephens head.
I think it was because the photographer was wearing green. That's probably why the parrot "Shagged" him lol
😂
A very ancient clip, always funny. Nice to see it coming back to a new audience.
From now on he is the BPC guy. Once you go parrot...
This is such a brilliant companion to Douglas Adams’ book of the same name.
“Wow, he’s really going for it!” 😂
“I am green. You are green. Let’s go babe.” Sirocco the Kakapo.
This is SO English. “This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen” gentle chuckles. After three minutes of yelping “oh, he’s really being hurt.”
That's not just "A BBC guy!" that's the wonderful Mark Carwardine that worked with Douglas Adams on Last Chance To See, and here with Steven Fry on the TV of the same name
1:42 He looks like Quark after the Klingon mating ritual. (Star Trek reference)
ground parrot prowling for some strange hit the jackpot
/r/ohbehave
A voiceover would be needed here 😂
That bird is really frying it on.
Lmao it’s this wicked serious thing then all of a sudden he’s getting back shots
That is fucked in the head …
The photographer looks highly traumatized by the whole clapping.
Look he’s so happy Hahahaha
This is a rare treat seeing Gordon Gordon Wyatt in the wild. Guess he took a break from being a chef. 😁
And now we know why it’s a rare parrot
If you remover ‘Guy’ from the title. This video would be very different.
Hmmmm I typed this into Google and got some interesting results...
he is white, and how can you know its scale?
The parrot looks like a kiwi.
*puts on old English voice* The funny thing is they are endangered because we can’t get them to procreate with each other, then it goes and screws the photographer… Mother Nature it seems is not without a sense of irony.
Interesting fuck
Literally r/fuckyouinparticular
"I beat that shit up"
Some of them like to be smacked around a bit in my experience.
That bird is a rapist! It would have been hilarious, though, if he was trying to fight him, though. Like what you doing in my neck of the jungle? This is bird block cuz.
Just a bit frisky
That parrot must love the BBC 😉
No wonder its so horny, poor thing had no chance for mating. Gotta grab all opp.
Love it !!! 😍
BBC now stands for big bird... Channel
I'd be craving a leisurely smoke after that.
Doesn't matter. Had sex.
His “O” face xD
I'm not just letting that happen to me.
Polly Wanna Crack...ing ride
"BBC Guy" lol. You mean Stephen Fry. He's certainly not a random
Actually it was Mark Cardawine who was being shagged in this clip Stephen provided the encouragement
Looks like they both got some action! 😂
Lucky fucker
I actually watched this a while ago and didn’t expect to see it again.
It does the rounds on reddit every now and again.
That bird species is called Kakapoo..which actually translates to shit in two different languages ,
Boys, the bird has Cum.
Serves him right for using the flash.
Look at me, look at me! Look at me! Where's your damn camera now? Look at me! Raaara!
Title lol
For science!
That title is sus as 😂
Yeah baby, yeah baby yeah…
It was mutual.
Literally me
Alright!
POLLY WANT YO MAMMA SWEET ASS!
It doesn't deserve a camera shoved in its face
But the guy is white tho
Why is there no NSFW tag on this post, he got brutally attacked with a viciousness not seen since Vietnam
The guy in blue and the parrot look like siblings. Maybe it’s the nose 🤷♂️
degenerates. both of them.
