Extinct birds

About “Extinct birds”

Extinct Birds is a book by Walter Rothschild that focuses on globally extinct and rare birds, as well as hypothetical extinct species. These hypothetical species are based on written or oral reports or on paintings, rather than confirmed evidence. The book draws from Rothschild's lecture titled On extinct and vanishing birds, which was presented at the 4th International Ornithological Congress in 1905 in London. The accounts in the book are based on this lecture, providing information on bird taxa that are no longer extant or whose existence is uncertain. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
