Dion. Basically a good thought but  I think this is unlikely to work in the
case of Night Parrots. It's a different situation with the Kakapo and Kiwis,
because the dogs work in a specific area, and in an area which is known to
contain the target. Sniffer dogs soon lose interest if they don't get any
hits.

I have often wondered why no-one has trained a dog to search for Night
Parrot. Get them tracking Ground Parrots and then move to the desert with a
muzzle (to avoid eating 1080 baits and Night Parrots). Our Kiwi friends use
this strategy successfully for finding Kakapo.
