Now it seems that the Kakapo in particularly has put a lot of effort into becoming the perfect meal. Perhaps we should let them achieve that aim, to the last kakapo crumb?

There’s an awful lot of effort and dollars being poured into saving one flightless bird that may not be able to survive anyway, when there are many other charmingly-addled waddling birds that have a better chance of survival…

Sorry Aotearoa conservationists, someone had to say it.
