	Peter's Homepage - Extinct Animals - Huia
		The Huia is a bird that belongs to a family found only in New Zealand, a family so ancient that no relation is found elsewhere.
		At the base of the bill, on either side of the mouth hung the fleshy wattles characteristic of the family Callaeidae that were bright orange.
		In both sexes the bill colour was ivory white and the legs were bluish grey.

	Kokako, Callaeas cinerea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There are species in New Zealand of so ancient a lineage that it is certain that they have been in this country since before the time when New Zealand first became an oceanic island or archipelago.
		One of these species is the Kokako, belonging, with the extinct Huia and Tieke, the saddleback, to the ancient wattlebird family, Callaeidae.
		The common ancestor of these birds probably became isolated when the super continent, Gondwanaland, began to fragment some 80 million years ago.

	COMMENTS ON THE PHYLOGENY AND SKULL OF THE PASSERIFORMES
		Since the medium-sized species are actually the largest passerines, evolution in this group has tended toward small species fitting into restricted habitats where small food units are available.
		From this we can assume that the crows and the several Australian families of large "flbirds" (Callaeidae, Grallinidae, Cracticidae--including Pityriasis, Ptilonorhynchidae, Paradisaeaidae) are remnants of the ancestral oscine population--showing specialization, it is true, for various ways of life.
		Close to these would be the starlings, and in the nine-primaried assemblage the American flbirds (Icteridae).

		More like a mammal than a bird Read More
		Three unique wattlebirds, the kokako, saddleback and huia are part of the ancient Callaeidae family.
		They are thought to have been wind blown immigrants, together with two other distinctive families of New Zealand land birds, wrens and native thrushes, during the Paleocene 60 million years ago.
