About These Birds
Arfak Robin
The Arfak Robin is a medium-sized petroicid from the Arfak Mountains of western New Guinea, weighing about 33 grams with a wingspan near 18 cm. It inhabits dense montane forest understory, foraging for insects on or near the ground in characteristic robin fashion. Its white wing patches are a distinctive feature used in identification.
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.
