Hawkin's rail - New Zealand Bird of the Week
Рет қаралды 4,805
Күн бұрынHawkin’s rails were large, flightless rails that occurred on the two largest islands in the Chatham Island group off the east coast of New Zealand, Chatham and Pitt, being the only member of the genus Diaphorapteryx, and being notable for having long, curved bills. I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for including birds past & present. Not to be forgotten.

This was a good video but it made me sad because it made me remember about how not very long ago there used to be tons of flightless rail species all over Oceania and now all that’s left is the weka & the Guam rail, which doesn’t even live on mainland Guam anymore.

Whenever there’s an isolated island, there’s bound to be a flightless rail species native to it New Zealand, Hawaii, Aldabra, you name it, it probably has a flightless rail species native to it

Thanks for bringing to light another little talked about extinct species. I'm always amazed that rails had spread across so many islands across vast areas of ocean. It's such a waste that so many have become extinct due to human "interaction".

Those land bridges are an interesting hypothesis from the past.

Sad that humans had no idea they’d lose their food supply to extinction from over hunting.

It seems ridiculous to us now, but until way into the 19th century, there was still a debate about whether or not a whole species could actually go extinct.

You're less a paleoguy who occasionally talks about birds than a bird guy who occasionally talks about paleontology.

Interesting that they were so easy to sneak up on when their heads were down for foraging. I guess if there have never been any land predators after you, why bother interrupting your foraging and expending the energy to be hyper alert... Still seems strange that the noise of a person approaching from the front wasn't enough to warn the bird, especially since an approach from behind _was_ enough warning. Odd. 🤷🏼♀️ Yet another fascinating look at New Zealand's lost birds. Let's hope humans can protect what is left instead of being the final blow to the existence of any more species!

Yeah, I was thinking much the same thing... and also thinking how much of a totally ass hole move that is... just walk right up to it, grab it by the neck and strangle it... ugh... I don't want to live on this planet anymore. =/

OR, give the bear a long range scoped rifle and spend years and years teaching it how to make 1000 yard shots from up in a tree hide, covered in the stench of Marlboro and Budweiser =/ again, a far hunt. haha =)
