	Mutton Birds
		Every part of the mutton bird was utilised, the feathers and down were sold to make pillows and quilts, the oil from the stomach was use in medicinal products and the meat is sold fresh or salted in barrels.
		Today the mutton birding industry is of a lot smaller scale and importance that it was in past decades, when more than 500 people were involved in the mutton bird industry and it was one of the major sources of income for Island residents.
		The mutton bird is one of the worlds greatest travellers with the migration taking it from southern Australia up the western side of the Pacific Ocean to the Artic region, where it spends the northern summer and then returns southwards through the centre of the ocean.

	Birds - Short-tailed shearwater, or muttonbird
		The short-tailed shearwater, or mutton bird as it is often known, is a member of a group of 60 medium to large seabirds in the family Procellaridae.
		Each bird generally remains with the same partner throughout their life, although the "divorce rate" does increase to nearly 25% among pairs that fail to produce young.
		Birds also ingest small plastic particles while at sea which may limit the birds ability to maintain condition and contribute to deaths during migration.

		One bird was killed at surgery because of severe peritonitis resulting from uterine rupture at the side of obstruction by the retained egg.
		The birds showed no significant change in body temperature during a 3-4 h heat stress caused by increasing ambient air temperature from 21 to 46 degrees C. However, the emus increased their respiratory frequency 10-fold (from 5.3 to 52.9 breaths X min-1).
		The bird's pen was contaminated with faeces from 3 to 5 infected raccoons (Procyon lotor) that had been housed in a barn loft directly overhead.

		Of the over 40 live Mutton Birds which were brought to WWO unfortunately none survived longer than a day.
		Mutton birds were washed up on beaches along the entire east coast of Australia.
		Another suggested that the number of birds affected was not unusual (mortality of mutton birds due to exhaustion from migration occurs annually) but that the prevailing weather conditions ensured that more birds were washed up on beaches this year than in previous years.

	Bird Facts
		Bird eyeballs are relatively large for their head size compared with ours, and more oval [wider and shallower] than spherical, and their retina is flatter and has more extensive areas of sharp focus instead of our single small one.
		Birds do not have the diaphragm separating chest from abdomen that humans have, and the liver is largely up in the chest, in front of the lungs.
		Bird lungs only take up the back of the chest, instead of the whole chest except for the heart as in humans, but bird lungs are much more efficient.

	Shearwaters
		Given the name 'mutton bird' by early settlers of Port Fairy because of its fatty flesh, the shearwater was hunted as a food and oil source.
		This mutton bird may not be spectacular in appearance, but it has some remarkable characteristics, including annual migration around the Pacific Ocean, and an uncannily regular lifecyle.
		The male and female birds share the duty of incubation, with the male spending the first 12 to 14 days on the egg, followed by the female for 10 to 13 days.

	TrouserPress.com :: Mutton Birds
		Before forming Mutton Birds, singer Don McGlashan had been in post-punk pioneers Blam Blam Blam, theatrical folk duo the Front Lawn, the Auckland Symphony Orchestra (first euphonium) and scored the Jane Campion film An Angel at My Table.
		The Mutton Birds establishes McGlashan as a first-class lyricist, able to tell stories using a variety of voices and viewpoints.
		Pleasant and jangly songs (think Teenage Fanclub) with strict rhyme schemes like "Anytime Soon" and "Come Sunday" are very much in keeping with his contributions to the Mutton Birds, but "The Ballad of Wendi Deng," a country tune about Rupert Murdoch's wife, is a highlight.

		He renders the Mutton Birds' guitar strum and jangle in more solemn than bright tones, which suits the sometimes poetic lyrics and unusual chord progressions.

		Traditionally women have remained in the sheds to process the birds on Big Dog, but this is the end of the season and many of the young men have already left, so it is John’s daughters, 14 year old Peta and 21 year old Kimberley, who accompany their father into the rookery this morning.
		When the body-count is sufficient the catchers thread the dead chicks onto wooden spits, lift the spits across their shoulders, and return to the sheds as generations of birders have done before them.

		The New Zealand pop band the Mutton Birds was led by singer/guitarist Don McGlashan, already a highly regarded figure in his native land for his work in the legendary post-punk-era group Blam Blam Blam.
		Preceded by the single "Dominion Road," the Mutton Birds' eponymous debut LP appeared on their own Bag Records label in 1992; a melodic pop effort informed by Sixties-era influences, it also spawned the hit "Nature," and fell just shy of topping the New Zealand album charts.
		In mid-1993 the single "Your Window" provided the Mutton Birds with another hit, and they soon signed with Virgin, issuing their sophomore LP, Salty.
