filming and photographing the kakapo for the new BBC documentary series “last chance to see“, zoologist mark carwardine becomes part of something unexpected…

Stephen Fry sees photographer get humped by a rare parrot – watch hilarious video

This clip is more suited to the top shelf of a seedy sex shop than part of a nature documentary presented by Stephen Fry.

While filming a kakapo parrot for new BBC programme Last Chance to See, the actor is taken aback when the bird leaps onto a crewmember’s head and starts humping him.

Exploding with laughter, Q1 host Stephen says: “This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, you are being shagged by a rare parrot.”

The excited kakapo, christened Sirocco, flaps its wings and attempts to mate with the photographer for a full minute before its claws start to draw blood.

Stephen was in New Zealand to record scenes for the wildlife series, based on the search of animals on the brink of extinction.

The kakapo species, known for being fat and flightless, is extremely rare.

Perhaps poor Sirocco should try taking out his frustration on another parrot…
