“#Rare bird thought to be extinct app<\/a>ears on Hawaiian volcano<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

From beyond the grave, this believed-dead bird has made an appearance.<\/p>\n

In a failed attempt to help the critically endangered kiwikiu, or Maui Parrotbill, seven of the gold-and-green birds were translocated to Maui\u2019s Nakula Natural Area Reserve in October 2019. However, an epidemic of avian malaria transmitted by \u201cnon-native\u201d mosquitos killed five of them. The remaining two were assumed dead \u2014 until this Wednesday, SFGate reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources researcher Zach Pezzillo was at the Haleakal\u0101 volcano-based reserve when his keen ear picked up a very specific bird song in the distance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI first heard what I thought might be a distant kiwikiu song,\u201d Pezzillo said in a statement, according to SFGate. \u201cIt then sang about ten times across a gulch in some koa trees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creature, which birders thought had perished in the bird epidemic or the years since, then began acquiring various items, all while continuing its ditty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt dropped down into some kolea trees where it spent the next twenty minutes calling and actively foraging through the berries, bark and leaves,\u201d he said. Taking a closer look, Pezzillo was able to confirm that the bird was one of the two lost Maui Parrotbill\u2019s thanks to a banded mark on its leg.<\/p>\n

That the chirping fellow is still alive and kicking is a miracle, experts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bird has been exposed to disease, as the others were, and has somehow persevered,\u201d said Dr. Hanna Moucne of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its apparent survival offers hope for the survival of other similar species in the reserve\u2019s specific environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an amazing sign of hope for the species as we still may have time to save them\u2026This is a hopeful sign that a population of kiwikiu and other native forest birds could survive in restored landscapes in the future, especially without mosquitoes and disease,\u201d Moucne said.\u00a0\n <\/p><\/div>\n
