About These Birds
Eastern Bluebird
The eastern bluebird is a beloved symbol of happiness in North America. Once declining due to habitat loss and competition from introduced species, populations recovered dramatically thanks to a massive citizen science nest box campaign. These gentle thrushes form loose winter flocks and huddle together in nest boxes during cold snaps.
Amaui
The Amaui was a thrush endemic to Oahu, Hawaii, now extinct. It belonged to the family Turdidae and was lost due to habitat destruction and introduced predators, leaving no living representatives of its lineage on the island.
