| | Boobook: Volume 19 - 1 |
 | | One of the Moreporks paired with the female Boobook, and, after an unsuccessful breeding attempt in 1988, a brood of two hybrids, both females, was raised in 1989. |
 | | Census checks failed to find the original Boobook after 1995, and as she was then at least 10 years old - and probably considerably older - it seems likely that she has died. |
 | | Consideration was given to the recapture of the Morepork, her mate, but, in view of the lack of available males, that was not done and, in 1996, he mated with a female from the 1994 brood, one of his granddaughters, and reared two young. |
