Chatham Island bellbird - New Zealand Bird of the Week

Chatham Island bellbirds are birds that differ greatly from their mainland relatives, both in colour and in size, and are also unfortunately extinct. I hope you enjoy.

Surprised hearing so many present-tense verbs for a past-tense animal.

It is rather tragic to think we never got to study these creatures or try and protect them, great video!

Hi Henry, I teach a special needs class in the North Island. I've come over from Ireland in January and have loved learning about native birds and plants along with my class. My class LOVE your videos and we focus on a new bird every week. Would you be interested in doing a Q&A with my class over zoom or teams?
