I want native New Zealand birds to succeed but this is very clearly a pipedream goal.

All we have to do is convince "alternative medicine" practitioners that rat tails from NZ cure baldness and make your dick grow. They'll be as extinct as the white rhino in less than a decade.

On the contrary; they'll start breeding them for the tails.
