I lived in Karratha in the Pilbara for five years and that area is so vast and uninhabited that a small pocket of these birds could be undisturbed for centuries, a bird that has a burrow and is nocturnal would be extremely difficult to find in that region. I have been a reader for years now and would like to say thanks for all the interesting articles relating to australian fauna.

This is extremely important; to cryptozoology, ornithology, and anyone who cares about animal life on the planet in general! Besides, a lot of cryptozoology isn’t proving whether or not the creature in question once roamed the earth, but rather whether or not the creature has reached the point of extinction. Thank you for the post Loren.

I believe that this kind of cryptozoology can make it a more legit science in other people’s eyes.

What are people going to fund and support more?

A search for yowie and bigfoot?

Or a search for a possibly extinct parrot?

Though I personally would prefer a few good Bigfoot expeditions.

This kind of cryptozoology, the research, searches for normal creatures, nothing wild or crazy, I believe helps to make cryptozoology a more legit science in other people’s eyes.

I very much care.

This is basic cryptozoology, the kind that happens all the time, although it does not get “celebrity cryptid headlines.”

Its not like he’s searching for a the yowie or seomething its a parrot who cares if he don’t find it.
