Sylviornis, also known by its native name of Du, is an extinct genus of large, flightless bird that was endemic to the islands of New Caledonia in the Western Pacific. It is considered to constitute one of two genera in the extinct family Sylviornithidae, alongside Megavitiornis from Fiji, which are related to the Galliformes, the group containing the turkeys, chickens, quails and pheasants. Sylviornis was never encountered alive by scientists, but it is known from many thousands of subfossil bones found in deposits, some of them from the Holocene, on New Caledonia and the adjacent Île des Pins. It was likely hunted to extinction shortly after the first human arrival to New Caledonia around 1500 BC.

  • Sylviornis neocaledoniae — викопний вид куроподібних птахів вимерлої родини . Був поширеним на початку голоцену на острові Нова Каледонія та сусідньому невеличкому острові . Винищений представниками культури Лапіта близько 1500 року до н. е. (uk)
  • Sylviornis estas formortinta genro de Kokoformaj birdoj enhavanta unusolan specion, S. neocaledoniae, aŭ erare "Novkaledonia giganta megapodo". Teknike, tio lasta estas malĝusta ĉar oni ĵus trovis, ke ne temas pri megapodo, sed la nura konata membro de sia propra familio, nome Silviornitedoj; je la epoko de la priskribo, oni supozis, ke estas strutoforma. Sylviornis neniam estis trafita viva de scienculoj, sed ĝi estat konata el multaj miloj de ostaj subfosilioj trovitaj en kuŝejoj, kelkaj el ili el la Holoceno, en Novkaledonio kaj la apuda . (eo)
