Berry nice to meet you: bumper fruit crop could lead to huge mating season for NZ's endangered kakapo

Kakapo breed only every two to four years when the native rimu trees mast and produce large numbers of berries, so repopulation is slow. This year a mega-mast is expected, resulting in a bountiful harvest of rimu berries, which could prompt the birds to produce more eggs. The rimu tree produces berries that provide enough nutrition for the birds to raise chicks. Photograph: Nature Picture Library/Alamy

I breed and train dogs that sell for $175,000 each. We place about 20 dogs a year, and it took us a while to be profitable.

After experiencing intense itching from head to toe, I developed a total aversion to dogs. I made my husband agree that we would never have a dog when we got married. My husband and I both worked internationally, he in defense and me in humanitarian efforts. We met in Afghanistan and later moved to Kenya, which was a region where his harder skillset and my softer skillset could both be utilized.
