Oh the poor bustards!

The authorities in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh are under pressure to declassify a national park because much of its rare bird life is believed to have been lost forever.
Locals eager to have free use of the land complain the park's special status prevents them from doing so.
But critics say any move to downgrade Karera bird sanctuary - created in 1981, principally to help save the Great Indian bustard - would be an admission that conservation efforts there have failed.

Rare birds about to become rarer.

"....It lost out to the peacock when India's national bird was decided - reportedly because of its tricky spelling and the peacock's more attractive looks...."

The attractive well educated ones always win out......

Are we talking about The Lesser Spotted Bustards here or the more common Grey Beaked Bustards cause the grey beaked feckers can flip off so they can.
