Critically Endangered Bird Believed Dead Spotted Alive in Hawaiian Islands

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services has listed the kiwikiu, also known as the Maui parrotbill, as an endangered species. The little, olive-green and yellow bird used to reside all across Maui and the adjacent island of Moloka'i, claims the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project. But the number of birds has decreased to about 150 due to people, feral pigs, wildcats, and sickness spread by mosquitoes.
