Huia Greeting Card

Huia Greeting Card

Featuring a female (long beak) and male (short beak) huia perched amongst native pūriri and pōhutukawa, this card honours one of Aotearoa’s most treasured and remembered extinct native birds.

Huia were once the largest of Aotearoa’s wattlebird species, admired for their beautiful song, glossy black feathers, and distinctive long white-tipped tail feathers. Their remarkable beak differences made them one of the most unique bird species in the world.

The last confirmed sighting of a huia was in 1907, though it is believed a small number of females may have survived into the 1920s.

To artist Katy Hayward, huia are a reminder of the collective impact humans have on the natural world and the responsibility we share to protect and care for what remains. They represent both the beauty of our taonga in Aotearoa and the importance of nurturing our unique environment for future generations.
