The situation in Australia is not much better. I
remember reading some reference in 80's that Norfolk
Island Thrush was endangered but is it extinct now? Is
Norfolk Island race of Boobook Owl considered
'extinct'?


I believe that the Norfolk Boobook no longer survives
in its pure form. Some years ago, I think there was
only a single female left. Male Moreporks were introduced from New Zealand to continue the species when 
I was sure that there was only a single female left.

Regards,
Vin.
