Australia is home to many weird and wonderful endangered birds, barreling towards extinction through a mix of habitat loss, new predators, and occasional self-sabotage. The appropriately named Difficult Bird Research Group are on a mission to help these feathered weirdos get their act together. Featuring the Palm Cockatoo (rockstars), the Orange-Bellied Parrot (morons), the Masked Owl (murderers), and more!
