List of birds of Hawaii facts for kids

This guide lists all the amazing bird species that naturally live or visit the U.S. state of Hawaii. It covers the entire chain of Hawaiian Islands, from Kure Atoll in the north to the "Big Island" of Hawaii in the south. There are 337 different bird species on this list!
Many of these birds are special:
- 64 species are endemic, meaning they are found only in Hawaii.
- 130 species are vagrants, which are visitors that don't usually live here.
- 52 species were introduced by humans.
Sadly, 33 of the 64 endemic species are now extinct, meaning they no longer exist anywhere. Also, two introduced species that used to live here are now extirpated, meaning they no longer live in Hawaii but can still be found elsewhere in the world. This list doesn't include introduced species that haven't made Hawaii their permanent home yet.
The birds are listed in a scientific order, similar to how they are organized by the American Ornithological Society (AOS). This helps scientists keep track of all the different bird families.
Understanding Bird Status in Hawaii
To help you understand where each bird comes from or its situation, we use these special codes:
- (En) Endemic: This bird lives only in the Hawaiian Islands.
- (V) Vagrant: This bird is a rare visitor and doesn't live in Hawaii regularly.
- (Xt) Extinct: This bird no longer exists anywhere in the world.
- (xd) Extirpated: This bird no longer lives in Hawaii, but you can find it in other places.
- (I) Introduced: Humans brought this bird to Hawaii, and it now has a healthy breeding population here for at least 15 years.
We also use symbols from the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature) to show how safe or endangered a species is around the world. These symbols tell us if a bird is doing well or if it needs help.
= least concern | = near threatened | = vulnerable |
= endangered | = critically endangered | = extinct in the wild |
= extinct |
