Endangered and elusive, the New Zealand fairy tern is a tiny shorebird whose main hobbies include nesting in inconvenient places and not reproducing enough. It’s hard to worry about insomnia when you’re worrying about bird extinction. A perfect bedtime story for lovers of relaxation, rare species, and bureaucratically-managed conservation plans. Thanks to Guy for sponsoring this episode!
