The New Zealand quail (Coturnix novaezelandiae | Māori: koreke) is an extinct quail species endemic to New Zealand. The male and female were similar, except the female was lighter. The first scientist to describe it was Sir Joseph Banks when he visited New Zealand on James Cook's first voyage. Terrestrial and temperate, this species inhabited lowland tussock grassland and open fernlands. The first specimen to be obtained by a European was collected in 1827 by Jean René Constant Quoy and Joseph Paul Gaimard on Dumont D'Urville's voyage. It most likely went extinct due to diseases from introduced game birds.
Juri Han woke up in the forest of New Zealand, she couldn’t believe she was lost, she gets a map and compass to find her way home while passing by the bird species (including the Giant Moa, the Haast’s eagle, laughing owl, huia, piopio, kiwi bird, and the New Zealand falcon).
