About These Birds
Marquesan Swamphen
Marquesan Swamphen (Porphyrio paepae) is an extinct flightless swamphen known only from subfossil bones from the Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. Lost following Polynesian settlement and later European contact. Part of the broader pattern of Pacific island rail extinctions linked to human arrival and introduced rats.
Saint Helena Rail
Saint Helena Rail (Zapornia astrictocarpus) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Saint Helena island. Known only from subfossil bones. Extirpated rapidly after European settlement in 1502 due to introduced predators and habitat loss.
