Chatham Raven Colouring Page

Chatham Raven (Corvus moriorum). Country of origin: the Chatham Islands of New Zealand. Extinction: It disappeared after human settlement, probably by the 1500s; an exact extinction year is unknown. Cause: Hunting and changes following settlement, including introduced animals, are likely contributors. Special characteristics: Bones indicate a large robust raven with a strong long bill and sturdy feet. Some classifications group it with mainland New Zealand ravens. How to Colour: Try charcoal feathers with blue-grey highlights, a dark heavy bill and dark feet as reconstruction colours. Use layered strokes on the wing feathers and leave small highlights on the rounded head.
