Videos of Hawaiian Birds


Abstract artwork featuring overlapping leaf-like shapes in shades of brown, outlined in white, arranged within a square border. The design evokes the modern art of Hawaii with its geometric and nature-inspired feel.

Hawaiian birds are renowned for their diversity, vivid colors, and fascinating evolutionary history. The islands were once home to over 113 endemic species, including the famed Hawaiian honeycreepers, whose adaptive radiation produced more than 50 unique forms. However, since human arrival, habitat loss, introduced predators, and diseases like avian malaria have led to the extinction of many species; today, only a fraction remain, including endangered birds like the nene (Hawaiian goose) and rare forest dwellers such as the ʻapapane and ʻiʻiwi. Conservation efforts target preserving these unique avian treasures, many of which are restricted to high-elevation forests.


Hahai no ka ua i ka ulula`au. – The rain follows after the forest. (Destroy the forest, the rains will cease to fall, and the land will become a desert.)
