A BIRD IN THE HANDMADE BY ANTS

THE MAN THAT RE-DISCOVERED A EXTINCT SPECIES

• Brent Stephensen was a famous man that managed to rediscover the New Zealand storm petrel on 25, Janurary 2003.

WHY WAS THIS BIRD UNIDENTIFIED AT THE TIME?

• The New Zealand storm petrel was unidentified because it was believed to be extinct at the time.

WHY ARE STORM PETRELS CALLED THAT?

• They are called that because they go across vast, stormy oceans.

WHY WAS A UNIDENTIFIED BIRD A EXITING DISCOVERY?

• Because then, not only did you save a (almost) extinct species, you are also helping us discover answers to some questions we are asking.

WHAT DOES A BIRD IN A HAND MEAN?

• I think it means “Make-do with what you have, and don’t chase impossible dreams.”, to be honest.

WHY DID THE CREW (THAT WAS SHOWING THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE BIRD) THROW

BURLEY INTO THE WATER?• So that way the Birds would be attracted to this area.

WHY DO YOU (ME) THINK SPECIAL PERMITS NEED TO BE OBTAINED IF YOU WANT TO

TAKE BLOOD FROM A WILD BIRD?• So the authorities know and you can contact them if needed.

DO YOU THINK THAT IT IS EXCITING THAT A NEW SPECIES OF BIRD IS DISCOVERED?

WHY?• Yes. Not only did you bring awareness to a (almost) extinct bird species,

you also gave us some answers to some questions.
