Bill is upset when he discovers that Tim and Graeme have become obsessive
hunters. Tim and Graeme belong to the
Endangered Species Club. They are especially interested in hunting endangered species and non-endangered species like farm animals, urban animals, local animals and domestic animals because the small numbers make them hard to find. On the other hand, Tim and Graeme consider that
common species animals and birds are too
abundant and therefore far too easy to hunt. Later, Graeme finds a
dodo (the last one in existence) in a pet shop, and brings it home to Bill, who then has to keep the bird safe from the other two. Tim asks Graeme about the price of the dodo: "Was it going cheap?" "No," said Graeme, "it was going ERRRRKKKK!!!" When Bill teaches the dodo how to fly (for the dodo's own protection), the method of
flight is rather unusual for a bird. ==References==
