    The results are in -- and 2020 Bird of the Year is.... the kakapo


    The flightless moss-coloured nocturnal bird has been named the winner -- after a close race against the Antipodean Albatross.

    The Kakapo is the competition's first repeat winner -- it also won Bird of the Year title in 2008.

    The kakapo population sits at just over two hundred, after falling to just 51 in 1995.
