The sculpt captures its sturdy build, short wings, and characteristic posture, making it both scientifically accurate and visually striking. A wonderful addition for collectors of bird models, wildlife figures, or anyone fascinated by the unique fauna of New Zealand.
The takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri) is a rare, flightless bird native to New Zealand, thought extinct until its rediscovery in 1948 in the Murchison Mountains. It is known for its vibrant plumage, with deep cobalt blue on the body and emerald green on the wings and back, along with a large, red bill and frontal shield. Takahe feed primarily on grasses, especially tussock, and have a strong, stout build suited for life in alpine and grassland habitats. Conservation efforts have helped the species recover from the brink of extinction, though it remains endangered and continues to rely on intensive management for survival.
