Lord Howe Island Flycatcher
The Lord Howe Island Fly Catcher is a bird that went extinct 88 years ago. It's scientific name is Gerygone insularis (reserved, 2012). Some interesting facts about it are that it's order is Passeriforme and it's family is Acanthizidae (reserved, 2012). It's habitat is a forest on Lord Howe Island in Austrailia. The bird's diet was arthropods and other flying insects (reserved, 2012). It would normally lay 2-3 pink eggs (reserved, 2012). If you want to know exactly where Lord Howe Island is, it's East of the Australian mainland at the points of 31 degrees 335, 159 degrees 05' E (Location, no date). Then, in 1918, a ship crashed, and in 10 years, the whole species was wiped out (Australia, 2016). The
Lord Howe Island Flycatcher is known to have gone extinct for 1-2 reasons (Australia, 2016). The most common reason is that the ship S.S Makambo wrecked, releasing black rats (Australia, 2016). After that, scientists think that the rats swam to the island then spread disease (Australia, 2016). The second theory is that human disease killed the birds (Australia, 2016). So, these are just theories because there has only been 1 sighting of the bird (Australia, 2016). In the end, it is a mystery on how they became extinct. In conclusion, the Lord Howe Island Flycatcher is known as extinct (Australia, 2016). Even though there has only been 1 confirmed sighting, it's still gone (Australia, 2016). After 1928, there were no more of them (Australia, 2016). They were destroyed by a disease that we don't even know of (Australia, 2016). As a result, we don't know much about this bird. All we know, is that there will be no more Lord Howe Island Flycatchers.
