• Campephilus principalis — Ivory-billed Woodpecker, . The last positive sighting was in Cuba in 1987; a claim of a pair spotted in Louisiana in 1999 has been discredited. The reason of the decline or extinction of this bird is probably loss of habitat. ===Woodpeckers===
• Camptorhynchus labradorius — Labrador Duck, . This eider-like sea duck was never very common. Although it has been hunted for food, it probably died out because of decline of mussels and shellfish due to pollution. The last one was seen at Elmira, New York, in 1878.===Ducks, geese and swans===

• Cyanoramphus zealandicus — Black-fronted Parakeet, ===Parrots===
• Cygnus sumnerensis — Neuseelandschwan
• Diaphorapteryx hawkinsi —
• [[Didus ineptus, voir Raphus cucullatus — Dodo
• Dinornis giganteus — Riesenmoa
• Dinornis novaezealandiae — Moa
• Dinornis struthoides — Moa
• Dinornithiformes — Moa, . Large flightless birds on New Zealand, they were probably already extinct in 1642 when Europeans landed there. The extinction of the moa and its main predator, the Harpagornis, is attributed to the arrival of human settlers around 1000 A.D. Very early European arrivals, ca 1830-40, described seeing birds that might have been the last of the moa but the sightings have never been confirmed reliably. New Zealand has no significant indigenous mammal life. The entire animal ecology consisted of birds, with the moa filling the niche of deer or cattle, and the harpagornis filling the niche of the wolf or tiger. There were ten species, among them were Slender Moa, Dinornis robustus, Great Broad-billed Moa, Euryapteryx gravis and Lesser Megalapteryx, Megalapteryx didinus.
  It has been long suspected that the species of moa described as Euryapteryx curtus/E. exilis, E. huttonii/ E. crassus, and Pachyornis septentrionalis/P. mappini constituted males and females, respectively. This has been confirmed by analysis of DNA extracted from bone material for sex-specific genetic markers (Nature 425 p.175). More interestingly, the former three species of Dinornis, D. giganteus = robustus, D. novaezealandiae and D. struthioides have turned out to be males (struthioides) and females of only two species, one each formerly occurring on New Zealands North (D. novaezealandiae) and South (D. robustus) Island (in addition to the Nature paper cited above, also Nature 425 p. 172). Moa females were larger than males, up to 150% of their size and 280% of their weight. This phenomenon, reverse size dimorphism, is not uncommon amongst ratites, being most pronounced in moa and kiwis.
  On a side note, the plural form of moa is also moa, as Maori words do not feature plural-s.===Ratites===

• Ectopistes migratorius — Passenger Pigeon, . The passenger pigeon was once probably the most common bird in the world. It was hunted close to extinction for food and sport in the late 19th century. The last one died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.===Pigeons and Dodos===

• Threskiornis solitarius — Réunion Flightless Ibis, (Mascarenes 1750) This species was the base for the supposed 'Réunion Solitaire', a supposed relative of the Dodo and the Rodrigues Solitaire.
