It all started with a dream. A of ensuring an endangered species was kept from extinction. That sort of mad-cap enthusiasm is what lead to the front page of Imgur being populated entirely with GIFs of New Zealand bird superstar, Sirocco the kākāpō.

This bid to spike public awareness and donations paid off as Imgur's front page was flooded overnight with GIFs of the the head-bobbing mover and shaker himself, Sirocco the Kākāpō.

But surely those are reasons to try and keep the groovy member of the avis family around for at least a couple more years?

Witness Stephen Fry and BBC presenter Mark Cawardine just being casually shagged by the rare and hopelessly adorable bird.
