Field Notes

Description:

On A Cross ...

With Height upto
5 feet and Wing-span
reaching more than
8 feet ... they are
real giants ...

Their number in the
world ...
is

less than
the no. of Tigers
in the wild ...

Current estimates
( 2008 )
suggest that
there are only
800-1200 mature
individuals left
in the world ...

Habitat:

Woodland with a waterbody

Notes:

The way things are ...

... these Giant birds
require only
a gentle push ...

... mind it
not a shove ...
... a mere push

from
Magnanimous Humanity
to join the
ranks of Dodo
Passenger Pigeon and
Dinos...
In the marvelous
realm of
Extinction ...

And then ...
No one shall
bother them
