The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō or ʻōʻōʻāʻā in Hawaiian (Moho braccatus) is an extinct species of passerine bird in the family Mohoidae, which was endemic to the island of Kaua'i in the Hawaiian archipelago. It was common in the island's subtropical forests until the early 20th century, when its decline began. It was last seen in 1985 and last heard in 1987. The causes of its extinction include the introduction of predators (such as the Polynesian rat, the small Indian mongoose, and domestic pigs), mosquito-borne diseases, and habitat destruction. The final blow came from two hurricanes, Iwa and Iniki, which arrived ten years apart. They destroyed many old cavity-bearing trees and prevented new tree growth when the second hurricane struck, leading to the species' disappearance. As a result, the last female bird disappeared (probably killed by Hurricane Iwa). The male bird was last seen in 1985, and the last recording was maded on 1987.
thank you for see this honoration to that species.
