The Huia

The past couple of weeks we have been working on information reports. I decided to do it on the Huia. The Huia died out in 1907 but was sited in the Urewera in the early 1960's. It is one of the very few birds where the female and male have a different physical forms. They use their beaks to dig into soil to get at grubs. They are a rare species of the New Zealand wattle bird. The female beak is twice the size as the males.This is what I found out about the New Zealand native bird called the Huia.
