Pukeko appear to be a clumsy flier when taking off, but they are obviously competent fliers, and have been known to fly to an isolated rock some 200 miles distant from the nearest established population in the Kermadecs.
They have spread from their native Australia to New Guinea as well as New Zealand. They generally appear to prefer to run away from strangers, but will fly if pushed.
Their general family (Porphyrio) all are strong flyers, apart from the Takahe of New Zealand, which is about three times as heavy (c3kg vs c1kg). This bird is currently flightless, but may have arrived a million years ago somewhat fitter and lighter.
