About These Birds

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.

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.
