Shagged by a Parrot



OK, this is funny, but it's sad, too. There are only about 60 of these flightless parrots - Kakapo - left alive in the wild. The BBC program name, Last Chance to See, says it all.

Well, their extinction isn't inevitable, not yet, but will they have enough genetic diversity to survive? And will we share enough of the planet with them to make survival even possible?
