Written by [[The Goodies]], with songs and music by Bill Oddie.
==Plot== Bill is upset when he discovers that Tim and Graeme have become obsessive [[hunting|hunter]]s. Tim and Graeme belong to the [[Endangered species|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 [[Wiktionary:abundant|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.
