About this episode

This episode discusses the Royal Spoonbill, an endangered bird with a unique appearance.

Every Friday Nicola Toki and Jesse chat about an endangered species. This week they're turning their attention to the Royal Spoonbill or Kotuku-Ngutupapa. This critter looks like it walked straight out of a Dr Seuss book or a punk rock country band. It's a tall white bird with a shaggy mullet and a spoon for a bill.
