About These Birds

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.

Andaman Crake

Andaman Crake (Rallina canningi) is a 25–28 cm crake endemic to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Chestnut head and breast; dark olive-brown back; white-barred underparts. Inhabits forested wetlands, mangrove edges, and marshy clearings. Poorly known; considered Near Threatened due to restricted island range and deforestation pressures.
