About These Birds

Talaud Bush-hen

Talaud Bush-hen (Amaurornis magnirostris) is a poorly-known rail endemic to the Talaud Islands, Indonesia. Similar to related bush-hens; brown above, paler below; characterized by a notably large bill. Inhabits forest-edge wetlands and dense scrub on small islands. Near Threatened due to small range and ongoing deforestation.

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.
