Oxygen mask saved kakapo

Sinbad the kakapo is the son of Richard Henry, the oldest kakapo in the world, and a survivor of the Fiordland population which provides much-needed genetic diversity to the species. Sinbad was very small when he was hatched, so he was airlifted to a special rearing unit. "But en route, Sinbad developed respiratory problems and was saved only by quick-thinking airline staff, who fitted the hapless bird with a modified oxygen mask. He then rested in a Christchurch hotel before making the final leg of his journey south by car."
