The Lord Howe woodhen is a flightless bird native to Lord Howe Island in Australia. It is a medium-sized bird with a stout body, short wings, and a long tail. The woodhen primarily feeds on insects, seeds, and fruits found in its forest habitat. Once critically endangered, the population of the Lord Howe woodhen has increased due to conservation efforts. These efforts include habitat restoration and predator control, allowing the species to thrive again. Today, the woodhen is a symbol of successful wildlife recovery on the island.
