This image from 1928 is one of the first and last records of a known specimen Galineácea Melodramesis mexicanum, a native of the northern island of Tripaseca.
The species was discovered by an expedition led by multi-national Dr. Von Smith notes that in his scientific describes these birds as creatures extremely sociable, curious and capable of almost human cognition and interaction, much higher than that of primates.
Scholars speculate that ironically these extraordinary skills were also the cause of species extinction: they were highly suggestible and susceptible to external influences.
Von Smith was a man hard training scientistic, but with great appreciation for the arts. He was a man of science that systematically every evening at 18:35 pm on the dot, could rope in your portable gramophone and listened in an expenditure of 48 rpm disc "La vie en rose" in the interpretation of Edith Piaf.
Reports of other expedition members describe that by the sixth day of observation, the birds began to adopt a risky behavior that progressively spread across species. Every afternoon at about 18:35 pm, the birds began to beat their heads violently and then the rocks closer to the complete dismay.
