New Zealand Raven Colouring Page

New Zealand Raven (Corvus antipodum). Country of origin: the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Extinction: It disappeared in the late prehistoric period, roughly by the 1500s; no precise final record exists. Cause: Hunting, habitat changes and introduced animals after human settlement are considered likely causes. Special characteristics: Bones indicate a large raven with a strong bill, broad wings and sturdy legs. Its appearance is reconstructed from remains and living relatives. How to Colour: Use charcoal-grey feathers with a subtle blue sheen, a dark bill and dark feet as reconstruction colours. Follow the wing feathers with smooth strokes and use gentle shading around the head.
