I saw this on TV when I was 13. It made such an impression on me ("these flying birds are Japanese Ibis. There are only 13 left in the world. You are now seeing 8 of them.") Very powerful. So much so that I wrote to the address at the end of the film and ordered 30 pamphlets of "Say Goodbye" and spoke on the film as a class project while passing out the pamphlets to my classmates. I would give my eye teeth to find a copy of one of those pamphlets . They had a little picture in the center of the front cover of a polar bear cub sitting on the tundra. The picture was taken right after his mother was killed from an airplane. The film was narrated by Rod McKuen, a poet at the time. This film made me respect animals for the rest of my life and I am 58 now.
