'Frankie Michele' was named by (and after the children of) a genuinely wonderful couple from San Francisco that we met while banding kea (and sampling for lead poisoning) along the Milford Road, Fiordland during March 2019. They watched us from a distance over several hours and made the effort to come and talk to us after we finished our work, asked us lots of questions and applauded us for our good work. They were touched by what we were doing and trying to achieve. We were touched by their kindness and compassion.
