Everyone is asking the wrong questions and directing these questions to the wrong source. What is relevant to all life on Earth is, what is Earth's opinion of this bird and the job his specie performs for the all life on Earth. As all biodiversity, like native birds, are the creators, supporters, maintainers and the job-holders in all of Earth's ecosystems, I would believe man's opinion of the validity or worth of this bird is irrelevant.

What is Earth's opinion of all birds and all biodiversity? After all, biodiversity are the living body parts that create the living, life-gifting body of Earth, just like the human body functions better and is alive with all his body organs and life-gifting parts.
