Huia (Heteralocha acutirostris) feathers. This beautiful bird went extinct in the early 1900's, however. Maori had probably decreased the bird numbers somewhat, but European hunting and deforestation caused a very rapid decline in population and subsequent extinction, the European mentality at the time being "oh no it seems to be becoming more rare lets shoot more of them so we get some fine museum specimens before it goes extinct". It was one of only 3 species of wattlebird in New Zealand, and the remaining two, the Kokako and the Saddleback, are endangered.
