Being a flightless parrot, the kakapo finds its food on the ground or by climbing trees. Their feet are designed as all parrots' feet are - with two sharp claws facing forwards and two facing backwards, which enables it to climb trees, even though it cannot fly. It is often a ground feeder, finding fruits, seeds, roots, stems, leaves, nectar and fungi. Kakapo eat certain fruits such as that of the rimu and kahikatea and the seeds of manuka and leatherwood. They eat the shoots of the shrub Dracophyllum. In the warmer months they drink rata nectar, while in winter they feed on sun orchid bulbs.
