Kauaʻi o'o bird stimboard for anon.
A small yellow and black songbird native to Hawaii, the o'o bird is now extinct due to a combination of habitat destruction as the thickly forested canyons where it once lived were cleared for sugarcane production and the introduction of rats, pigs, and mosquitos by European settlers. The bird's beautiful, haunting song was last recorded in 1987, in which the last male on earth sings for a mate that will never come.
