Huia

The last accepted sighting of this incredible wattlebird with the striking white-tipped tail feather was in 1907. Its extinction is blamed on the loss of its ancient forest habitat and being hunted for its tail feather as a hat decoration, which became fashionable in Britain after the Duke of York wore one on a 1901 visit to New Zealand. Maori named the after its loud distress call “uia, uia, uia" or where are you?" How sadly apt. While nothing can bring back the , you can celebrate it forever in your backyard.
