Only big enough to make one burger.

It'll definitely need side dishes.

In the distant past, it was necessary to kill an animal to be able to collect and preserve it. More recently, scientists who need to collect one or more specimens are bringing them back alive, and they rely on zoos and aquariums to keep these specimens alive. The reason is that you can learn more from a live animal than you can from a preserved one. The things we learn can help conserve these species, if there comes a day when captive breeding is needed to keep the species alive. If the animal(s) die in captivity, then it can still be preserved.

Captivity didn't go so well for the thylacine (Tasmanian tiger).

Maybe it is just hard to spot? The birds do exist in there even without a single human watching those.

But back to the subject: so what. They killed one bird, that doesn't make any difference.

while i embrace it, i don't know enough science to make a rational opinion on whether or not it makes scientific sense to kill that bird to learn more about that bird.

that said, that bird is beautiful and i know i couldn't have killed it.

Based on Wikipedia it is endangered specie. But it is of course quite hard to count those birds if they have troubles to see those to start with.
