Today it is often known by its Māori name mōhua in New Zealand English, but Māori also knew it as ''mōhoua'' and ''houa''. Recent classification places this species and its close relative, the whitehead, in the family Mohouidae. Distribution The yellowhead and the whitehead have allopatric distributions as, conversely, the latter is found only in the North Island and several small islands surrounding it. Although abundant in the 19th century, particularly in southern beech forests on the South Island and Stewart Island / Rakiura, mōhua declined dramatically in the early 20th century due to the introduction ...
