The image shows a large, plump bird with a rich array of colors on its feathers. The bird's body is predominantly a blend of iridescent blue and green shades. Its head and neck are a deep, velvety blue, while the body transitions into a greenish hue with hints of blue, giving it a shimmering effect. The bird's beak is a striking red color with a pale tip, and it has a white ring around its eye. The legs are sturdy and red, contrasting with the green grass it's standing on. The bird is set against a backdrop of green foliage, which adds a natural and lush feel to the scene.

Takahē

The first photo on this site was of Orbell the Takahē (porphyrio hochstetteri). Here’s another shot of Orbell, showing much more of his beautiful plumage. It was taken shortly after Orbell’s partner, Nio, passed away.
