BIRDS

Hawaii is home to more than 300 bird species, out of which around 70 are native to the islands., due to the loss of their natural habitats and the introduction of non-native species, many of these birds are now endangered or have already gone extinct.

Birds have the potential to carry diseases, but the likelihood of transmission to humans is typically low. In Hawaii, certain bird species, like the Hawaiian goose, can be hazardous due to their aggressive behavior during breeding season. However, Hawaii is also home to several endangered bird species, such as the Hawaiian honeycreeper, which should be appreciated from a safe distance and are protected by law.

You may have noticed we have a large feral chicken population on our islands. The feral chicken population in Hawaii is a result of a combination of factors. One of the main reasons is the tropical climate, which provides a year-round source of food and shelter for the birds. Additionally, many of the chickens were originally brought to the islands for cockfighting and then released into the wild when the sport was banned. The lack of natural predators also contributes to their high numbers.
