I donate 10% of my proceeds for this print to Kākāpō Recovery to support their conservation efforts.
Larger prints are rolled in acid-free media and sent in mailing tubes. Smaller prints are sent flat with conservation-grade backing boards and slips. Extra-large metal prints are shipped in a custom-built crate. (The video shows printer Cory Marshall peeling back the protective film after printing an extra-large metal print).
How do you refer to kākāpō? Variations I've seen are: kakapo, great green budgie of love, owl-parrot, tarapo, tarepo, night parrot, and Strigops habroptilus
