Weka

Ocydromus australis

The weka, also known as the Māori hen or woodhen is a flightless bird species of the rail family. It is endemic to New Zealand. Some authorities consider it as the only extant member of the genus Gallirallus. Four subspecies are recognized but only two (northern/southern) are supported by genetic evidence.

Ko te Weka he manu ngahere nō Aotearoa. Ko ngā huruhuru he ura. Ka tau tēnei manu ki te whenua, kaore ia e rere. Ko te ingoa pūtaiao ko Gallirallus australis. Ko te ingoa reo Pākehā ko te Woodhen, engari kua āhua tawhito taua ingoa i nāianei.
