The Huia bird, native to New Zealand, is known for its striking appearance and unique features, including its long, curved bill and beautiful black and white plumage. Highly valued in Māori culture, the Huia was often associated with nobility and served as a symbol of beauty and rarity. Sadly, the Huia is now extinct, having disappeared in the early 20th century due to habitat destruction and hunting. Its legacy continues to inspire conservation efforts and serves as a reminder of the fragile balance of our ecosystems.
