An interactive account of the now extinct huia birds
We found this story interesting with professional narration, and interactive elements on each page. We also learned the story of how huia birds became extinct...would have loved to see more facts or actual historical documents included in the app, but this is a good Segway into discussing the huia birds of New Zealand, and how industrialization and hunting can impact a species.
