About These Birds
Red Rail
Red Rail (Aphanapteryx bonasia) is an extinct flightless rail formerly endemic to Mauritius. Known from 17th-century illustrations and subfossil bones; chestnut-brown with long curved bill. Closely related to Rodrigues Rail. Extirpated by Dutch settlers and their introduced animals by about 1700.
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.
