Episode Description from the Publisher

This week in the Natural History Cupboard we once again look at a species that has a tale of extinction and people stepping in far too late to save it. Learn how the Carolina parakeet went from being North America’s only endemic parrot species to a stuffed specimen in a museum in a remarkably short time. In the news we look at bird flu affecting seals seagrass in Cornwall and frogs stopping a fun run. All this and more this week the Cupboard is open so come on in!
