You can designate it thus; you can legally call it a Rhode Island Red chicken if you want, but no whooping crane on this planet is nonessential. It flies on. photo by JZ When a population of birds numbers only 400 in the wild, there can be no such thing as a “nonessential” individual. Not when we have but 400 to spare.
