The Mystery of the Dodo Bird
Dukes and Duchesses, ladies and gentlemen, my program not only encompasses science, history, ecology, English, conservation, and biology, but it also transcends time! Travel to the island of Mauritius deep in the Indian Ocean to the year 1691, and discover the most captivating bird in history: the Dodo bird. The Dodo bird once lived in a tropical paradise undiscovered for centuries until merchants, pirates, privateers, and sailors invaded the island. Once these men corrupted the land and killed off the Dodos, this bird became only a memory to the rest of the world. But with me as your guide, Captain Gus T. Wind, you will become acquainted and fall in love with this very special bird. You will learn just how the Dodo became extinct and the importance of each and every animal here on Earth. So make the decision to charter this course today—your adventure awaits!
