Definitions for "Yellowhead"
The Yellowhead or Mohua (Mohoua ochrocephala) is a small insect-eating bird that is endemic to New Zealand's South Island. The Yellowhead and its close relative, the Whitehead have sympatric distributions as, conversely, the latter is found only on the North island and several small islands surrounding it. Although abundant in the 1800s, particularly in beech forests from Nelson and the Marlborough Sounds to Southland and Stewart Island/Rakiura, they declined dramatically in the early 1900s due to the introduction of ship rats and mustelids.
