It ought to be impossible to describe a creature as looking old-fashioned,
-
but that's exactly how Sirocco looks, with his big sideburns
-
and his Victorian gentleman's face.
-
It's actually nice just seeing him wandering around in the forest, (inaudible).
-
(Carwardine) Yeah, you can see he's got very good camouflage.
-
(Fry) He has. That color is…
-
(Fry) So evolution hasn't entirely rendered him useless.
-
(Carwardine) Hello! You gonna look in the lens?
-
A typical male, Sirocco is clearly only interested in one thing.
-
(Fry) Oh, look at that.
-
Ow!
-
God, he's got sharp claws.
-
(Fry) He's getting a bit frisky.
-
Ow. Ow!
-
Do you think it is… he's actually attempting a sort of mating ritual.
-
(Fry) He is.
-
(Fry) You are getting shagged (inaudible)…
-
Ow, cor, it's sharp.
-
(Fry) Look, he's so happy. Sorry, it's (laughing)
-
one of the funniest things I've ever seen. (laughing)
-
(both laughing)
-
(Fry) You are being shagged by a rare parrot.
-
He thinks you are…
-
Ow!
-
He's really going for it.
-
Wow, you've chosen him? Is it…
-
Actually, you are in pain, aren't you?
-
That's all right.
-
Oh, his neck is co…
-
Am I?
-
He's fine, but it's really sharp claws.
-
You okay, did that hurt?
-
Yeah, it did.
-
(Fry) Yeah, you've got blood there, and blood there,
-
and blood there. We should patch you up, to be honest,
-
because it's not, not good, but…
-
Wow.
-
(Fry) I want you to call the chick, when you have the chick,
-
I want you to call it Stephen for me.
-
(Carwarden laughs)
-
I'm not sure I have to take that.
-
A little egg will come out of your mouth.
-
(Fry) Ladies and gentlemen, you've seen a television first.
-
You've seen Mark Carwardine, who has devoted his life
-
to conserving animals, actually taking an active part
-
in the conservation and breeding of a whole new generation
-
of a whole new species: Homo kakapens.
-
He's going to give birth (laughing)
-
to a little kakapo. We're very proud of you.
-
Do it up again?
-
I think I'll pass, actually.
