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