About These Birds

Reunion Rail

Reunion Rail (Dryolimnas augusti). Extinct. A flightless rail formerly endemic to Réunion Island, Indian Ocean. Known only from sub-fossil bones; estimated around 35 cm. Closely related to the White-throated Rail. Extinct by the 18th century, likely due to introduced rats, pigs and hunting by early settlers.

African Swamphen

African Swamphen (Porphyrio madagascariensis) is a 38–50 cm large gallinule of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Deep blue-purple with greenish back, massive red bill and frontal shield, and red legs. Inhabits papyrus swamps, lake shores, and dense reed beds. Similar to Purple Swamphen but restricted to Africa.
