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.
North Island Takahe
North Island Takahe (Porphyrio mantelli) is an extinct giant flightless swamphen formerly inhabiting New Zealand's North Island. Larger than surviving South Island Takahe; deep blue-green plumage, massive red bill. Extirpated by Māori hunting and deforestation before European contact. Known from subfossil bones across the North Island.
