<dinofyi-dinosaur slug="turnagra-capensis"></dinofyi-dinosaur>Turnagra capensis (South Island piopio) is an extinct passerine from New Zealand, related to bowerbirds. This large, ground-feeding thrush-like bird went extinct in the late 19th to early 20th century due to predation by introduced rats, cats, and stoats.
