Amongst the Maori of New Zealand, ornamental feathers were worn
by both sexes. Three types of bird were especially favoured. They
are the amokura, the kokoea, and the huia.
This is the skin of a kokoea bird, or long-tailed cuckoo. The barred
feathers of the tail of this bird were valued as head-plumes.
