One of the early victims of extinction, but at least the name lives on:-)

The name sure does and we found out a few more use the name.

A so nice bird and extinct. What a pity.

Man was the one who was greedy for feathers and old trees that killed them out.

Yes , I know, I searchead in the web to understand. And anyway it's always that way.

Sad but true

A spotlight on these beautiful birds Steve. Now another species that humans can no doubt claim to have had an hand in their demise, as you say higher, they liked the feathers too much. Hui is a great first name for a man too, I am sure your father has always been proud of the link.

Cheers, Herb

Herb the family name the two children born in the bush by bird names Tui & Huia the one born in hospital Marge. I think the two born in the bush the better names . Sad that the bird is no longer here but for special effects or like this. Proud my father has the name.

A great shot Steve and many thanks for posting to Fur, Fin and Feather.
