Kakapo crazy
Good news, kia ora kakapo, one more has been discovered in nature. See the story and video, here. The video has copyright all over it, so I won't post it.
Here's a picture book about a kakapo and its friends escaping from "clutches of Gotta-Gloat Stoat." It's $17.99 at Wheelers, a New Zealand book supplier.
Here's a Gould Australia 1869 Facsimile Victorian print that you can get on Amazon for $100.Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Happy Square Root Day!
Today (3/3/09) is square root day! Here's a story about what some people are doing to celebrate. The next square root day is 4/4/16, so you better make this one perfect. Perhaps we should call it perfect square day, but maybe kids would have issues with that.
The picture is from a professor's website at the University of Oregon.
Do you have any plans to celebrate?

Friendly bird #2: kia ora, kakapo
Kia ora, kakapo comes to you from New Zealand. It is a unique parrot as it is nocturnal, flightless, and rather large, weighing in at about eight pounds. According to this kakapo website, there are only 62 of these green little guys left! One of the oldest parrots, it was an intregal part of Maori culture. Some folktales even attributed the kakapo with the ability to foresee the future.This magical bird is greeting us in Maori, telling us a simple hello, kia ora.
Check out the bonjour, bird cafepress store to buy some kia ora, kakapo goodies.
