Kakapo Field Drawing Jersey Tee
Meet the feathered punchline of evolution: the Kakapo Field Drawing Jersey Tee from Soon To Be Mythical features a beautifully detailed field-style illustration of Strigops habroptilus, the world’s only flightless, nocturnal, and critically endangered parrot. Made from 100% cotton (heathered colors are a cotton blend), this tee is soft enough to mourn in and durable enough to wear while yelling at deforestation in style.

Field-style graphic of the kakapo with its scientific name, so you can flex your Latin while grieving biodiversity

Endangered Stats
Let’s talk about the green ghost of New Zealand:
-
🦜 Critically Endangered: Fewer than 250 individuals remain, all monitored and named (yes, they’re that rare)
-
🌙 Nocturnal & Flightless: Evolution gave it charm, forgot the survival manual
-
🧬 Genetic Bottleneck: Conservationists are using AI and matchmaking to save the species—Tinder for parrots, basically
-
🛑 Human Impact: Habitat destruction and invasive predators nearly wiped them out
-
💚 Conservation Support: A portion of every Kakapo Field Drawing Jersey Tee purchase goes to nonprofits working to protect endangered species and restore native ecosystems
Perfect For
-
Bird nerds with a dark sense of humor
-
Conservationists who appreciate tragic irony and soft cotton
-
Eco-anxious humans who know Strigops habroptilus deserves a second chance
-
Anyone who’s ever felt flightless in a world full of predators
Wear it like a warning. Or a love letter to evolutionary misfits. Because if the kakapo disappears, we lose more than a bird—we lose proof that weirdness is worth saving. Let’s make extinction unfashionable.
