About These Birds
Black Robin
The Black Robin is one of the world's rarest birds, with entirely black plumage, small bright eyes, and delicate feet. It is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand and was brought back from the brink of extinction—from just five individuals in 1980—through intensive conservation management. It inhabits remnant forest patches and feeds on insects, invertebrates, and small lizards found in leaf litter and on tree bark.
