produced 90 chicks and is surpassing 300. As the world's largest parrot
who are also flightless and nocturnal, they were nearly extinct due to the
introduction of predators. Article is in The Guardian. In case WSU

“Whether we and our politicians know it or not, Nature is party to all our
deals and decisions, and she has more votes, a longer memory, and a sterner
sense of justice than we do.”
