Considering without seabirds humanity would not even be able to live on the Islands since their guano started soil on the Island/allowed for plants to grow these beautiful birds well deserve to be revered, all of nature is interdependent humans are entirely dependent for their existence on other species. I am hopeful humanity is evolving, excellent documentary thank-you.
- This is truly amazing. I don't think people realize that those birds created those islands after volcanos && people are the same ones who also ruined it. Glad to see *some smart, caring* folks restoring what others destroyed. 🏝
Loved seeing this. Lived around there for a couple years -we called that spot “crying babies” because when we were out there at night , the cries of the birds made it sound like you were surrounded by the wailing haunting cries of thousands of ghost babies. Used to love going out there at sunset watching them all fly and roost home for the night. It warms my heart to hear how good they’re doing. I also used to see those cages and thought many times to destroy them , thinking people were out to pouch on the birds -I’m glad I didn’t ! Might wanna put up a sign on those
Thanks! I always love when a comment like yours turns up in the comment section, one who can add a further "personal" flavour (or what I should call it) to the documentary. It becomes more real in a sense, when some random person turns up with their perspective :)
- Wow I didn't think of it like that. Yes, they should put signs up there. Even though people aren't supposed to go in there because it *does* say, nesting birds do not disturb. So the only way you saw those cages was because you avoided those signs. 🫤
Great work. However, I wish they could do the same for the Hawaiian Honey Creepers. Because those are even more endangered than the sea birds and their only way of survival is a multitude of fenced eco-santuary free of invasive species,just like the ones we saw it in the video. I wish Hawaiians would focus more on the Honey Creepers. Beause seabrds also survive on other islands whereas Honey Creepers only exist on Hawaii.
2024 is Ka Makahiki o Nā Manu Nahele.... the year of the forest birds which include the honeycreepers. There is a ton of work you can support to address the honeycreepers threats, including mosquito borne diseases.....
@@Alternatives_Universum You can donate $ to the forest bird projects, like Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project or Kaua'i Forest Bird Recovery Project. These groups are on the front lines working with many of these endangered birds and helping captive rear species that are going extinct in the wild. Both groups even have shirts, stickers, hats, pins, and other swag that you can purchase to help support them. You can also learn about the "Birds, not mosquitos" efforts in Hawai'i and share your knowledge with others. I don't know if I can link in a comment, but just look up "Birds, not mosquitos" to learn about efforts to reduce exposure of these forest birds to introduced mosquito borne diseases like avian malaria & avian pox. These introduced mosquitos and diseases are the most imminent threat to the Hawaiian native forest birds and as the islands warm, there is less and less refugia at the tops of the mountains for the birds to avoid exposure. The Maui Seabird Recovery Project highlighted in this documentary is a similar organization for the extremely endangered seabirds of Hawai'i. Check their website & store out for ways to support them & prevent extinctions of these birds, also.
You don’t think this title is a little screwed up? You know, because of all the Hawaiian people that lost their homes , possessions, and loved ones, Who aren’t receiving help and aid from the government aren’t being allowed to rebuild their homes, have to ask permission to be allowed onto their property, and are pretty much being forced off the island (I’m sure this is a perfect storm of incompetence and happenstance, of course) So it’s in bad taste and disrespect when public broadcast puts out a segment called building homes for birds in Hawaii and the first sentence tells us all about how humans are screwing up the bird habitat in Hawaii, well good news government funded broadcasting because of no assistance from the government. There will be less humans on Hawaii.
When I saw the first shot of human encroachment right at the edge of their habitat, it made me mad😡 because I knew Native Hawaiians wouldn't be living in those houses. They were vacation homes for wealthy vacationers. This is ESPECIALLY EGREGIOUS after the horrific tragedy of Lahaina and the UNACCEPTABLE way they are being scammed out of their land in the aftermath.😡😡😡 I did love this documentary though. At least people are trying to do something about the negative effects of COLONIZATION on the environment and the birds there.🤷
Thank you for your comment!!! It is absolutely abominable that they aren't even able to rebuild their homes in Lahaina. Just a land grab and more colonization.😡😡😡
❤ I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but humanity is like a plague. we will destroy nature in search of our identity by destroying our identity. The irony.
Stories like this gives us hope that we can help to prevent the extinction of other endangered species if we all work together. Fantastic documentary!
Awesome I simply love this, I love what you have done for the Hawaiian bird community! They are now thriving YES!! 😙🤗

Really excellent program. Thank you so much! It’s great to see these innovations to save the birds and make habitat for them. 🌈🌈🌈🌈😊😊😊😊
Wonderful program, thank you.

Last time I checked, birds are HATCHED, not born.

@@earlydetectionmaui Is there something I can do personally (as a foreigner) to support the conservation efforts of Hawaiian Honey Creepers?

Great program but what about Hawaii’s homeless people, no homes for them?
