New Zealand PM names parrot, who became famous for trying to mate with TV presenter, as conservation ambassador
Auckland: A fat, flightless parrot who shot to fame after attempting to have sex with a TV presenter's head has been appointed a spokesbird by the New Zealand government. Sirocco, the kakapo, achieved international fame after he was filmed trying to mate with zoologist Mark Carwadine's head on the BBC show Last Chance To See -- much to the amusement of Carwadine's co-presenter Stephen Fry, who said, "This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, you are being shagged by a rare parrot."
