Its first name was "the cinerous wattle-bird,” referring to its orange and blue wattles and dark bluish-grey costume. It is present on Stewart Island, and latest reports state that it is plentiful in some largo forested areas in the South Island. It has a weakness for the leaves of the kararnu and of the sow thistle and other herbs, also the leaves of trees and ferns.

It has been named Palaiocorax, the ancient crow. .
