Sense（1）

(Australia, slang) Tribonyx mortierii, a flightless bird related to rails and coots.

All of which means that the nice neat pattern suggested by other Tasmanian endemic birds isn't a template for all its endemics: did the turbo chooks evolve on the mainland (and, if so, why did they lose their flight powers there?) and later run to Tasmania, or did they evolve in Tasmania and cross to the mainland during an earlier glacial period?
