Beschreibung:

Whekau or laughing owl.

Photographed (in the Wellington Region?) between 1889 and 1910 by Henry Charles Clarke Wright (1844-1936).

"Trevor Worthy (an expert on the subject) has stated that the photo is of a bird that was in the captivity of Walter Buller. The photo was taken in 1892 - of one of a pair of birds shipped to Rothschild."

This bird belonged to Buller and was photographed during 1892 shortly

before being shipped from New Zealand to a new owner, Walter Rothschild, in England.
