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!

a scene from an illuminated manuscript by John Skylitzes in which a woman is stabbing a man with a spear in the first panel. In the second panel, a group of men are handing over various things to the woman who stabbed said man in the previous panel
