The nene is the official state bird of Hawaii.. This list of birds of Hawaii is a comprehensive listing of all the bird species seen naturally in the U.S. state of Hawaii as determined by Robert L. and Peter Pyle of the Bishop Museum, Honolulu, and modified by subsequent taxonomic changes.
This list of bird species introduced to the Hawaiian Islands includes only those species known to have established self-sustaining breeding populations as a direct or indirect result of human intervention.

Two of the forest bird species that were declared extinct in 2021—the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō (Moho braccatus) and the Kāmaʻo (Myadestes myadestinus, once the most common bird on Kauaʻi)—were sighted for the last time in the Alakaʻi Wilderness in the 1980s. [5]
In the late 1800s, it was considered the most common bird on Kauaʻi, occurring throughout all areas of the island, but land clearing and avian malaria brought on by introduced mosquitoes decimated the birds. Shortly after its discovery in 1826, the bird became extinct and no specimens of it was known.
