muttonbird. migrates to southern Australia from the northern Pacific. It arrives in September and lines a burrow with grass to lay its one egg. only found in 2 places on earth. It is protected in all states except Tasmania, where there a 5-week season for commercial killing of muttonbird chicks in March/April, and a 2 week season for recreational killing.

i ate its chick. and its called mutton bird cuz the meat is sort of like mutton + chicken. with smell heavier than a lamb.
