(一)回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。
Many birds are endangered now, like kakapos(鸮鹦鹉). Kakapos are called owl(猫头鹰)parrots. They are also called night birds because they move around at night. They are green and yellow, large and fat.
In a quiet place, a kakapo can live up to 58 years. It is possibly one of the world's longest-living birds. They don't live with people or other animals and they do not have many babies. They are different from most birds because they can't fly. There are only about 200 adult kakapos left in the world, and all of them are in New Zealand.
It's difficult to find the birds, so people look for them with hounds(猎犬). Like many other New Zealand birds, kakapos were really important to Maori, the indigenous(土著的)people of New Zealand. You can hear about them in many of their traditional stories. However, kakapos were also heavily killed and used by Maori, both for the meat and the feathers(羽毛). The feathers were used to make expensive pieces of clothing. In the old days, some kakapos were also kept as pets. Kakapos are now in great danger, so New Zealanders take them to quiet places and protect them. In these quiet places, kakapos can make new homes and live freely. Without help, kakapos will die out pretty soon.
