* TruthInTelevision: Just like the special says, in real-life the Curlews were once numerous but thanks to unregulated hunting their numbers were so greatly reduced that even by the time protection for the species was put in place it may be too late as there have been no reliable sighting of the species since the 1960’s meaning either they are critically endangered if not already extinct.

* DarkerAndEdgier: By far, this is one of Creator/HannaBarbera's darkest material ever to be produced, especially compared to more LighterAndSofter material such as ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', ''Franchise/TheFlintstones'' and so on.
