If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Putting out birdfeeders, giving horses hay or feeding ducks peas (not bread!!) are extensions of an ancient connection between human & animal that you can read about in a new book, with a chapter by Dr Juliette Waterman.🫴🦆 @juliettewaterman.bsky.social #readingatReading #BookSky 🔗 rdg.ac/3FfJidy
