About These Birds

Bishop's Oo

Bishop's Oo was an extinct Hawaiian honeyeater that was last recorded on Moloka'i in 1904. It had glossy black plumage with yellow axillary tufts and a long, curved bill for nectar feeding. Its extinction was driven by introduced diseases, habitat loss, and introduced predators, contributing to the broader collapse of Hawaii's unique avifauna.
