The bushwren

Bushwren



The Bush Wren is a small creature that roamed New Zealand until about the late 19th century when it became extinct.

Features:
The Bushwrens had olive green heads and they had a black beak and brown eyes with a white eyebrow strip. Their bodies had dark yellow with white feathers and their legs were a brown stickish colour.

Habitat:
The only authenticated reports of the North Island Bushwren since 1900 were from the southern Rimutaka Range.With probable sightings on June 13, 1949, near Lake Waikareiti. When they introduced mustelids and joined rats that killed the bushwren.

Behaviour:
Bushwrens ate small moths, flies, beetles, insect larvae and spiders and did not fly much.

This bird shouldn't have gone extinct and should have flown away when it saw its predator. I hope scientists can bring back the the Bushwren.
