Synopsis: It was believed that the cakow, like the dodo bird, was extinct. This documentary says that some still live in Bermuda and this details one man's efforts to keep them alive.
Like pandas, cuteness is a factor here. Though the birds are not flightless, the chicks are cute and cuddly like baby penguins. Those who loved "Happy Feet" may enjoy watching this. I once heard that once a species has less than 50 members, you can't stop its extinction because inbreeding would be a problem. No one ever suggests this bird can't be saved despite myriad obstacles detailed here.
The bird is proven to be alive within 20 minutes of the documentary; proving its existence is not the point here. I love how this documents the practicality of smart people
