A general term for birds of the passerine order, family Collaeidae. Or it refers to one of them. This family is endemic to New Zealand and consists of three species, one of which is extinct. A common feature of the three species is a small, prominent wattle at the base of the beak. This is why they are named Collaeidae, but they are not particularly related to birds of the Sturnidae family. They live in forests, but their flying ability has deteriorated considerably. The long-billed Collaeas Callaeas cinerea (known as kokako by the Maori) is about 34 cm long. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
スズメ目ホオダレムクドリ科Collaeidaeの鳥の総称。またはそのうちの1種を指す。この科はニュージーランド特産で,3種からなり,そのうちの1種は絶滅した。3種の共通の特徴としてくちばしの基部によく目だつ小型の肉垂がある。このためホオダレムクドリと命名されているが,ムクドリ科の鳥にとくに近縁の鳥ではない。森林に生息しているが飛行力はかなり退行している。 ハシブトホオダレムクドリCallaeas cinerea(マオリ族の呼称はkokako)は全長約34cm。
