If you need something uplifting, it’s hard to go past the story of the hihi, and how a group of high school students and their inspirational teacher helped bring it back from the brink of extinction. open.substack.com/pub/theturns...

And a hihi about to visit it.

A small bird (a hihi/stitchbird) perches on a wooden ledge attached to a cage encased in two types of netting.

The netting between the upper and lower ledges has gaps large enough to allow this bird to enter, and feed on sugar water (not shown), but small enough to exclude larger birds.
