A third, the Huia became extinct early in the 20th century.
The Callaeidae are often known as wattlebirds, a term that leads to confusion, as there are other, unrelated species with this same name, notably the large Australian wattlebirds of the family Meliphagidae, which are honeyeaters.
Peter's Homepage - Extinct Animals - Huia (1156 words)
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.
