That's wonderful news! Now we must begin work to have all of Indonesia declared as a wildlife refuge so this magnificent bird can live in peace. We must banish all of the humans, so it can return to its natural habitat without fear of being hunted.

Hey, why stop at Indonesia. Lets banish humans from Earth all together. One can only imagine all the problems that would solve.

Crows are strikingly handsome birds and are said to be really smart too.
