Kakapo: a new jungle pet mob!

The kakapo, a flightless parrot native to New Zealand, are highly endangered with only 142 known adults alive. Them being introduced into Minecraft could bring some much-needed attention to their conservation.

- Kakapos would have 5 hearts.

- They would be passive.

- They would only spawn in the jungle biome.

- They would be 0.75 blocks tall.

- They would drop nothing at all.

- They could be tamed with seeds, like parrots, and would then follow the player. They could be made to sit.

- Hostile mobs would ignore the kakapo.

- Kakapos would run away from cats (reflecting one of the reasons that they are so endangered).

- They would have unique sounds.

- They could scare spiders away, like cats do with creepers (credit for this idea goes to TheIronSniper1)

 

The kakapos would give the jungles extra life, and would give players an extra option for companionship. The kakapo's addition into the best selling game of all time would also give their conservation media recognition.

    I agree with adding them to raise awareness, but reading it, there seems to be little use, other than being a quirky parrot.
    I think they should have the ability to scare spiders, as birds in real life, eat spiders.

    TheIronSniper1, That's a really good idea! That would give them an actual use, other than for being cute. Credit for that goes to you!

    I think they should spawn in forests instead of jungles. Everything spawns in jungles and it makes the other biomes very boring. Maybe make them spawn at night, too - because the real ones are nocturnal.

    Additionally, having hostile mobs ignore them would make them sort of underwhelming. They should be hunted down by zombies, skeletons, all illagers, as well as wolves, foxes and cats.

    I need it Now...If Mojang only adds Endangered animals, then they MUST add this,

     

     

    but if not...

     

    We need to make them more endangered.

     

    (That was a Joke).
