Albatross decoys wanted
« on: November 15, 2010, 02:12:01 PM »
Some folk in the Chatham Islands are wishing to re-establish Royal abatross on a peninsula site.  They'd like to put some decoy birds out and see what happens.  Does anyone out there know someone who could whip up decoys of this magnitude?  Attached is a pic of short-tailed albatross decoys (and real chicks) used in a translocation on a Japanese island (via Lyndon Perriman)
