About These Birds
Tahiti Rail
Tahiti Rail (Hypotaenidia pacifica). Extinct. Small rail formerly endemic to Tahiti and Mehetia, Society Islands, French Polynesia. Known from 18th-century descriptions and illustrations by Forster during Cook's voyages. Extinct by c. 1800, likely due to introduced rats and hunting.
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.
