Extinct Birds

Paraphrasing Errol Fuller’s Foreword on Extinct Birds in HBW Volume 7, “The subject of recent extinctions is one that seems, increasingly, to be a part of popular culture.” Knowing that ornithologists and bird enthusiasts have a great interest in extinct birds, we have included 157 species accounts of extinct bird species in HBW Alive!

Each species account includes Taxonomy, Subspecies and Distribution sections and a map of its former distribution. There is also an illustration for all of the species for which there exists a complete specimen or sufficient other information to be illustrated with a good degree of accuracy. Additional notes are included about the circumstances and timing of the extinction of each species.
