It turns out that there are new things that can be learned about extinct birds, and that even if the conclusion is obvious–the bird is gone, there is no time machine and we can’t change that–the way in which it is presented can differ as well. How many eggs did a pigeon lay? It’s an effective introduction.

Migratory and altitudinal movements are not common with these species; when they are present, they are described in a Movements section.

Presumably, this also leads to income inequality, if parallels to humans are any guidance. An additional benefit would be less nest predation by tidal mudflat crabs, the primary cause of Reed Parrotbill egg predation in tidal reed-bed habitat ( source ). At the moment, at least on Chongming island both species are present.
