The small, strange drum emitted only two notes, and it almost croaked them: kid-nork, kid-nork, kid-nork!

The Whackyweedia reports that after the Tibetan diaspora, skull hand-drums
began to be manufactured in India and Nepal, with a continued degradation of quality.
[Alas, no citation to explain whether the deterioration is due to shoddiness in the materials  or in the processing]

Mass-tourism merchandise spoils everything.

Back to the dining habits of Kea again, Smut? Mind you, it's probably quite difficult to discuss the finer points of Mahāyāna Buddhism with a beak full of sheep kidneys, but I'm sure the preemminent spiritual emblems of Un Zud (ferns? Pah! "Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru...!")will rise to the challenge.
