‘O‘o

1/10/2018

7 Comments

 
We have some early sketches by Jeanine Higa, who is working with fellow animator Kayla Abalos on the section about the Kaua‘i ‘o‘o's extinction, whose distinctive song was last heard in 1987. These birds were famous for their elaborate and beautiful mating calls sung by both the male and female. You can hear the heartbreaking last recorded ‘o‘o song here. 
Their distinctive yellow feathers that would surround their legs were carefully plucked out by native Hawaiians who used them on royal clothing such as the ʻAhu ʻula, pictured below. 
The different genuses of ‘o‘o were once found on O‘ahu, Kaua‘i, Molokai, and Hawai‘i but are now all extinct. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, "The exact reasons for their decline are not known, but avian diseases and land clearing are believed to be major factors."

I've listened to the sound they make when they sing their elaborate and beautiful yet heartbreaking song. I can't believe they are now all extinct, I would have loved to see one those! I am completely curious if they were executed alone just for their yellow feather, that would be really sad. I wish we were able to save them, it would have been awesome to see them around and photograph their beautiful feather. I wonder they look like in person, were they tiny and fluffy or maybe more aggressive? I would never know, but it is great to learn a new thing about birds! Thanks a lot for this awesome information!

Thank you for sharing your blog post about the Symphony of Hawaiian Birds. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and learning more about this fascinating topic. The diverse range of bird species found in Hawaii is truly remarkable, and the symphony they create is undoubtedly a unique and beautiful experience.

Your article provided valuable insights into the challenges these birds face due to habitat loss, invasive species, and climate change. It's crucial to raise awareness about these issues and the importance of conservation efforts to protect the Hawaiian bird species and their habitats.

I appreciate the efforts of organizations like the Hawaii Audubon Society, Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, and others mentioned in your post for their dedication to the preservation of Hawaiian birds. By working together, we can strive to safeguard these extraordinary creatures for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.

Once again, thank you for sharing this enlightening article. I look forward to reading more from you in the future.
