About These Birds
White Swamphen
White Swamphen (Porphyrio albus) is an extinct all-white swamphen formerly endemic to Lord Howe Island, Australia. Known from specimens collected around 1790 and early drawings; had reduced wings indicating flightlessness or near-flightlessness. Extirpated by hunting after European discovery. Related to Australasian Swamphen.
South Island Takahe
South Island Takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is a 50–63 cm flightless swamphen endemic to New Zealand's South Island alpine tussock grasslands. Deep blue-green plumage with green-brown back; massive red bill and frontal shield. Rediscovered in Fiordland in 1948 after presumed extinction.
