- In this video, I'm telling the story of the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, one of Hawaii's most famous extinct birds.
The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō was one of the most beloved birds in Hawaiʻi. Their population of Kauaʻi ʻōʻō began to rapidly decline. The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō soon vanished.
This mini documentary tells the story of this bird species. Hoping to bring awareness to the extinction that is occurring. Thank you for watching. Consider leaving a like and subscribing if you enjoy animal content.

I hope there’s some still out there..
There probably isn't any left, if there were we would've seen one by now.
I know they are not exrinct. Think it the other way. People got into the island, they brought rats and mosquitos, some birds left, some Kauai o'o left, they are onto their new home out there (we've only discovered 4%of sea, there may be some more isands that the kauai o'o went to survive)
@@roundboye that is a good theory, however the statement about the ocean is and isn’t correct, the way you’re using it is incorrect because it is pertaining to what under the water, not the land above it. However there are several upon several uninhabited islands in the pacific ocean that we know exist but no one lives there. However I do not know the status of the amount of islands we know (we probably know most of them due to satellites and the centuries of explorers that have sailed across the sea) but I have no clue on if we know every single island which we might not know
@@ashtroraven9747 you're right
I just heared about that Bird today for the first Time, listening to the recording brings me close to tears. The silence in the short pauses is so painful. During the last months I discovered more and more how intelligent birds are, making me believe this last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō must have been very alone.
Same😥
I discovered the bird today, and I'm glad I did. :(
I'm crying.
Sambucha sent me here
Actually same wtf
If only this bird knew how much people were mourning the death of its species
And the other people from the same species are the reason of the death of there species
They see us in heave-

Humans are only capable of regret, not fixing their shit before it's too late.
It would have prefered not to go extinct
Meanwhile we are the cause
The last Kauai O'O female died in around 1983, meaning that last Kauai O'O male singed for a female that will never come for 4 years or more...
Yeah... Apparently she died due to a hurricane.
Coming across this bird always makes me sad..
Such a heart wrenching story, so many things stacked against them leading to their fate. Makes me want to help the wildlife that is here, hoping that my video sparks that desire in others too
@@TheWildlifeWay Yeah, I want to do more aswell..
@@TheWildlifeWay Great and sad video. i learned about O'O bird some time ago, learned more about them month ago, I love his song, but once I hear it or remember it, it brings me to tears. He was literally singing for the mate that will never come back :/ And knowing how intelligent birds are I am scared to think how he felt while singing that. This song is beautiful, but once you know what is it's story, it is just sad and haunting. I think that it should be one of the symbols of extinction caused by humans (and it probably is)
You know something, that Kauai’s mating call sounds like it’s final goodbye. Like it was saying goodbye to the world. But the song felt so serene, quite, it felt like watching the sun go down, turning into evening.
I heard that it's mate died after they were separated in a hurricane, and if that's true then it really was the last goodbye.
This is something that we need to remember
This bird makes me almost cry, but maybe in the future we will revive and revive it’s other species with future technologies. I miss you little bird.
Lol scientanity!!! Not going to happen
There's a possibility that they are still out there and we don't know about them
Extinction is natural, it's sad however it's necessary. We as a human, trying to revive lost species is just as bad as destructing habitats. And it's all my opinion and it doesn't matter anyways
@@reuklavenders1294 agree
@@reuklavenders1294 this one wasn’t natural. It was from cats, and human intervention.
I'm heartbroken forever. Hearing his song i realize that that's how i was always imagining how the birds in the Garden of Eden sounds like. Let us have a moment of silence for this magnificent birdy lost existence.
i feel so upset knowing it's gone, something about this particular birds extinction makes my heart ache so much
"-We will meet all the extinct animals in Heaven.-"
is this how extinction is you call in hope of trying to find a mate not knowing your the last of your species
n yet i know yo azz be eatin KFC.
That mating call is beautiful and just heart breaking. This legit made me cry.
same here, this is the first time hearing of this species of bird....broke my heart listening to it's lovely and haunting song.
The story of their extinction is so sad, especially the story of the last male. He once had a family, children, and a devoted mate, but one by one they all disappeared. His parents, siblings and his own children, till only he and his mate remained to sing their song. But then a hurricane struck and only he remained, continuing to sing his song for his mate that would never return it, nor any others for which to carry on their legacy.
We humans know what caused this, all our own fault but these poor birds were the ones that suffered for it, unable to comprehend the tragedies occurring to them, only continuing their songs until they were all gone. Sadly stories like these happened, and contuine to happen all across the globe, not all were as lucky at the kaua'i ō'ō', to have their song and image preserved, most are lost to us in all regards. All we can hope to do is save those that remain and their precious eco systems 🙏
Bro why you making up a story
@@Nathanp77its actually not a story bro, its an actual thing, a cyclone killed the last female kauai, use your brain pls
It’s really mostly not our fault
@Nashoapollo sometimes yeah, but the birds mostly died cuz of invasive species like rats, pigs, etc
A lot of species were living and dying on this earth before us, and will after us. We are not permanent either here , we are just renting for a limited time.
Im hawaiian, i just discovered this bird, sometimes i whistle the same noise it makes, i had no idea why i did it, seems that its been genetic memory this whole time....
You can hear the sadness of the narrator in her voice
Do you know what makes me sad? We are one of the reasons of their extinction

This made me cry, i found this some weeks ago and started to research and came across this as well. My inspiration to make a art work for my final year at the art academy.
Please give it your all, man!
Don't be like the bad AH.
What the heck 3 days ago I saw a post and was overcome with the GREATEST sorrow* I’m so happy that you made this video on it and gave this bird more attention !!!! I’ve been trying to find the actual last audio recording for a while I can’t seem to find it any of the library’s online. The one that was made in 1987 Dave Boynton
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Grateful to have made it to bring more awareness to their story. Keeping their memory alive. Here I belie is the last recording search.macaulaylibrary.org/catalog?taxonCode=kauoo In this macaulay library they have archived all the of sounds they can find of this species. Super interesting stuff!
@@TheWildlifeWay keep up the good work? Hmmm I think there was one more recording from 1987 but I can’t find it anywhere even on that website
u sure u checked on YT? Because It's all over TH-cam IF YOU 🔎
Here th-cam.com/video/3pqz_ZCjWkc/w-d-xo.html
@@iamonlyhuman8323 yeah i did. the recordings all say they are the last recording but it is not the actual last recording done in 1987 but one from a different year ):
so many people are commenting on how sad the song sounds, but lets be real, it only sounds sad because you know the backstory. how many times do you hear birdsong outside and dont give it a second thought? would you notice if one of the voices were suddenly gone? pay attention to whats around you while you still can. dont wait for extinction to care.
The Hawaiian birds in general is one of the saddest story’s of conservation, most of the only native birds left are critically endangered like my personal favorite, the Maui honeycreeper. The forest fires there aren’t going to help either.
Girl i hear in your voice you are close to tears,and i feel ya
i was crying when for the fist time i heard its call it so painful to hear one of the last calls of the Kaua'i o o its soooo beautiful may they rest in peace
Not just family, their entire genus is now gone 😢
Their family being gone is worse.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Biological_classification_L_Pengo_vflip.svg
well i did not expect myself to cry over this
Deep in my heart i still believe that some species are still alive deep in the forest and in small islands, where our destruction didn't reached. I hope we will never found them again, let them live their life, don't bring any mosquitos, rats, or any scum of our beautiful new world to them...
I miss the kuaui Ō Ō bird it's so sad
Bro you probably weren’t even alive when it still existed
@@zrjz340 lmao exactly
@@zrjz340 i mean you can’t miss something that was before you existed so yeah
The commenter should have said they wished it was here right now instead of missing it
@@zrjz340 There were people alive in 1987.
I’ve still been believing that the Kaua’i Ō’ō might come back, and this video just made me believe it more. I just want to believe that one day I’ll visit the Hawaiian islands and hear that call. I don’t care when, I don’t care if I die before it happens. I just like to believe with all my heard that one day that call will ring out in the tropical forests once more. This video has given me more hope and faith…i will never forget that call.
😔😭 So very, very sad.........
Our world and its diverse creatures are more precious than could ever be understood. My heart deeply weeps tears of loss.....
When something bad happens a good thing always happens. I have hope that the kaua’i ō’ō is still alive
I remembered a nat geo wild show called "Extinct or Alive" , i hope they made an episode about this beautiful bird
Birds have some of the most moving and comforting musical sounds. Almost iree how beautiful
May this masterpiece live on in another universe. Where the kauai o'o has an island all to themselves
All the honey they can eat
I hope the same
we can hear the sadness in her voice, may the Kaua'i 'O'o fly high.
You mean his? Unless you are talking about the female that never came to the male bird.
@@RubyChocoCookie yeah, i meant his. sry, the voice just look like a lot feminine
@@aswan2460 It's fine.
In another video i saw a comment from a guy in fiji who said not many people know but theres still some left in nuvua fiji, he said he heard them, he heard their song while hiking.
I think there is still few of the species left . Main reason why nobody sees them now is because they might've kept migrating.
What makes you think that?
@@PiroKUSS because I used to hear that same kind of bird cry in my village when I was a kid . And I live in Assam , a state of India.
this is so heartbreaking. i saw a short about the last male and just needed to look into it more. i hope they're still out there.
Also, the little pauses in his song is the part where the female sings her part
I cried while explaining it to my friends..
I came from Reddit. Great work on the edit!
i found a commenter who went to hawaii, saying that they went alone in a forest and saw a black bird with yellow puffy balls under its leg. i also went to google and it said "POSSIBLY extinct" so it might STILL be alive.
A song like that and I think we would know. But there could be another species without a song.
I want to someday hear the words "The Kauai'oo has flown again", and to just hear it's beautiful song.
Wherever a human goes, there is ruin, Very sad
It was so sad that even the person who talked in the video cried 😔
its just to sad im crying in real life that bird was so innocent why did it just went extinct 😥
It went extinct like every animal
Natural extinction
No being is innocent nor evil
Sadly, Extinction is normal
Since childhood I have had a very strong dislike for people/establishments who cut down trees and forests. The loss is so incredibly sad.
This has to be the saddest thing. I have seen in awile, may the birds fly freely in paradise 😢
im so glad for watching this video, cause i just knew this world had a bird with beautiful voice.
Whenever I see anything about this bird or even hear its song, I start crying. Humans have truly hurt so many creatures in unchangeable ways that it’s so hard to not cry. Just imaging how far it came in evolution, and that it was the last bird of its family makes me so disappointed. And this isn’t even the first animal we’ve done it to. So many had been thriving and we came along and ruined it. The deafening silence this must’ve brought is so powerful.
I still hope their is a chance for this bird to return
I didn't know anything about this little bird till now, when TH-cam algorithm shows me this video.
But now I am missing this lovely creature and feel so sad about it, I can't describe it.
Just crying.
And there are so much other species that extincted and still ectinct cause of the most invasive species: human beings
What a beautiful song. Man should be proud of itself helping to cut the song short. We are the best at ending life.
The poem at the end was just the cherry in top in tweeting me to cry over the sadness of it all 😢
I would love to time travel back into the time just before human beings set foot onto Hawaiian islands.. the enchanting sounds of forest must have been incredible!
Beautiful quote at the end. Was it your original?.
I came here after seeing a video of the last song that reminded me of when i first heard it a few years ago.
Poor bird, i hope no one forgets it and all other extinct animals. Wish we could stop decimating and killing them all off.
I discovered this today
I'm at a loss for words
I like your channel like how could u only have 875 subs ??
Thank you for that kind comment!!
@@TheWildlifeWay
Agree.
I wish there is some other birds of the same breed had living now..
Human is the worst species😓😓
That sound makes me cry..
I wish I had time traveling abilties I could literllay go back to 1970 2 years before the female extinction and help acknowledge that there going extinct and we need to help them
Wouldn't have done anything. What were people going to do? Make a giant shield to protect the island from hurricanes?
@@DKoldies_CEO_Drew_Scumbag true but there could be other ways no?
@@putiksgaming6548 put a male and female in captivity and breed them

Yesterday I went into research about it but I remember myself 2 years ago listening to the last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō song. Back then I didn't really understand it but now it's just so sad. I really hope we will be able to hear this wonderfull bird once more in the wild. Hopefully
i am crying from last half an hour saw old video of that last male, then found animated video, now this .😞😞😢😢
"its exctinct"
bet.
*takes hundreds of eyars to try and bring back kauai*
im abt to cry bc of this ngl-
i'm crying....
Good news.. We have the memoreal in the roblox game.. Feather family.. I really love this bird
Yes... I was so happy to see Kaua'i Ō'ō there...
What game is it? I wanna see it.
When it shows the picture of the Mohoidae family at 0:33 .
How many of the birds in the picture are from Hawaii, I'm wondering that because the bird at the bottom right is a Tui from New Zealand.
I'm late with this information but can I still cry with you guys? This is so sad 😭
If I Was The Last Human On Earth Then I Would Have No Choice But to Fend For Myself
Really hope we can bring such animals back from extinction instead of some million year old fossils.
Exstinction is sadly the norm, not a rarity
Right in the feels.....
I feel like they're still out there, hidden from the world.
In another video i saw a comment from a guy in fiji who said not many people know but theres still some left in nuvua fiji, he said he heard them, he heard their song.
It makes me sad because I never got to see that bird up close in my life and heard it song
I'm only here cuz I saw it on a meme, but it's still sad.
I came across this today, it's Heartbreaking to learn about this bird extinction ....
I swear i have heard that song in the Australian bush
это пение разрывает сердце.. не знаю, так больно от этого..
That’s really sad damn
Thats so depressing.
heartbreaking 😭
Their voice is so beautiful 😢
why wasn't it taken into captivity and re populated though? if there were such small numbers, that is so sad, the last male there was probably depressed
Literally my heart is crying for this bird..saddest thing is last male sing for female who will never came😢😢😢
Today is my saddest day of my life not because I’m loser but because I discovered story of other living things around me 😢
Heart breaking so much already lost on this planet another beautiful song gone and we are the main cause
It also sounds very nice when it chirps
the stock videos are wild
This made me sad
Wait weren’t there many species that were sent extinct with the Ō’ō
While searching a bird chirping effect for our output, I came across this. Which is my first time seeing it and hearing its recordings. The kaua'i O'o gave me chills down my spine after hearing the recording. So, I did some research and The last recording Of the Kau'i O'o Is the last time where he is tryna find another bird. Although it is a bit haunting for me, Listening at night, It still gives a reminder what you feel when your the only person in the world just like the video.
Back in the 100th anniversary of the overthrow we had a diasporal gathering at Calvin Simmons theatre in Oakland where various halau presented hula for Queen Liliuokalani and the sadness of the passing of the Hawaiian Kingdom, though it was not overthrown. Only the Queen and her
prime minister. Kumu Hula Rayleen Lancaster presented a most beautiful chant to the O'o and it said that the bird is silent now and cannot speak for itself and therefore we must be the voice of the O'o and tell its story. Not a dry eye in the house. But like the Hawaiian people who are resilient and carry the stories for all the extinct creatures, this is not final. Hawaii still is a sovereign nation, recognized by the world with treaties still in force. Perhaps the O'o thrives deep in Kauai'i's high forests. The people identify with the O'o and it will not go gentle into that good night.
The OO bird sang his last song to The World knowing in a sense, hey everyone out there, this is the last time you will ever get to hear an OO bird sing, I've been searching for a mate for four years and i can't find a one, so after this song im finished, i can't find a mate and it saddens me, my heart is giving out, and loneliness is getting to me, So goodbye World I wish it didn't have to be this way, but im tired now, and I leave you with one final song, goodbye! He probably died from a broken heart shortly after this last song
As a scientest i have tried to use dna samples of the O'o bird on an different bird egg it has hatched and developed a lot of fratures the O'o bird had i have alot of hope for these birds.
Really? Can you elaborate please I’m very curious
Ah its Song is soo beautiful
Ive only just learned of this Birb and- Gog I feel sad. I should go check on how Kakapo's are holding up.
someone in the future will have to go through this
it's not a matter of if
it is A FACT in the future some poor person will have to go through this
to that person
stay strong
No they wont. Most instances of extinction don’t occur like this. Typically they all die off rapidly or at once.
True
the birds live on a small island it’s probably 100% extinct and wont be rediscovered again
I listen this sounds in my town
Why didn’t scientists try to save it the same way they saved the California condor
I’m getting this bird tattooed on me
What’s really sad about hearing this is that it’s a duet song, the pause is so that a female can respond back, but no female did as the last female died in 1982-1983 he kept singing for 4-6 years, and what’s even worse the is that we didn’t just lose the Kauai ‘ō’ō but we lost the entire Moho Braccatus genius, which includes the Hawaii ‘ō’ō (extinct: 1934), Kauai ō’ō (extinct: 1987), Bishop’s ‘ō’ō (extinct: 1915), O-ahu ‘ō’ō (extinct: 1837). All Moho Braccatus where native to my home country Hawaii. I’d fucking love to see them and hear there songs..
Is the Bohemian Waxwing in the same family? Its in the same picture. I keep seeing them. I saw a swarm of them today sitting in a tree eating crab apples! And a couple of months ago a swarm sat in a birch tree just outside my window. I’m wondering if it “ means” something. I just found this video now. I’m working on an animation about bird extinction.
