负责拍卖的韦布拍卖行表示，早已灭绝的新西兰灰蝶鸟（Huia）的一根羽毛以46521新西兰元（约合205874元人民币）的价格创下了纪录，成为有史以来世界上最昂贵的羽毛。
Huia最后一次被确认看到是在20世纪初，其羽毛此前的售价高达8400新西兰元（约合37173元人民币）。
作为垂肉鸟家族的一员，Huia受到了许多人的珍视，最终被证明对该物种是致命的。
对毛利人来说，这种鸟的羽毛是一种崇高地位的标志，其独特的白色羽毛被用于仪式头饰。只有那些主要级别的人才允许在头发上戴Huia羽毛，或者在耳朵上戴整张皮，据新西兰博物馆介绍。
拍卖行表示，这些羽毛经常被用来交换其他贵重物品，或作为礼物赠送，以表示友谊和尊重。
欧洲新西兰人也开始将Huia视为声望的象征。据博物馆介绍，他们用这种动物的羽毛作为时尚配饰，并在富裕的家庭中安装填充的Huia作为装饰。
博物馆解释说，19世纪，毛利人和欧洲猎人“大量”杀死了这种鸟，并将其皮肤卖给了收藏家和时尚商人。
据报道，1901年，约克公爵和公爵夫人在新西兰旅行时被拍到帽子里戴着Huia羽毛，这种鸟的“致命人气”进一步高涨。
“人们有点疯狂，每个人都想要一根Huia羽毛。”
20世纪初，科学家们试图保护剩余的Huia，但以失败告终。据博物馆称，政府计划将这些鸟运往近海岛屿，结果那些收集这些鸟的人将它们作为死亡标本出售，并补充说，这比让它们活着更“有价值”。
拍卖行表示，所有潜在买家都必须在周一拍卖前提供新西兰文化和遗产部的许可证。作为国家重要物品，羽毛只能由注册收藏家购买，未经卫生部许可不得出境。

新闻译文：
The Webb auction house responsible for the auction stated that a feather from the extinct New Zealand grey butterfly bird (Huia) set a record for 46521 New Zealand dollars (approximately 205874 Chinese yuan), becoming the most expensive feather in history.
The last confirmed sighting of Huia was in the early 20th century, when its feathers were previously sold for as high as NZD 8400 (approximately RMB 37173).
As a member of the weeping bird family, Huia has been cherished by many and ultimately proven to be lethal to this species.
For the Maori people, the feathers of this bird are a symbol of high status, and its unique white feathers are used as ceremonial headwear. Only those at the main level are allowed to wear Huia feathers on their hair or a whole piece of skin on their ears, according to the New Zealand Museum.
The auction house stated that these feathers are often exchanged for other valuable items or given as gifts to show friendship and respect.
New Zealanders in Europe have also begun to view Huia as a symbol of prestige. According to the museum, they use the feathers of this animal as fashion accessories and install filled Huia as decoration in affluent households.
The museum explains that in the 19th century, Maori and European hunters "extensively" killed this bird and sold its skin to collectors and fashion merchants.
According to reports, in 1901, the Duke and Duchess of York were photographed wearing Huia feathers in their hats while traveling in New Zealand, further increasing the "deadly popularity" of this bird.
"People are a bit crazy, everyone wants a Huia feather."
At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists attempted to protect the remaining Huia, but ended in failure. According to the museum, the government planned to transport these birds to offshore islands, but those who collected them sold them as dead specimens, adding that this was more "valuable" than keeping them alive.
The auction house stated that all potential buyers must provide a permit from the New Zealand department of Culture and Heritage before the auction on Monday. As an important national item, feathers can only be purchased by registered collectors and cannot be exported without permission from the Ministry of Health.
