About These Birds
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.
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.
