"That's the last male of the species, singing for a female who will never come. He's totally alone. And now, his voice is gone."
Sounds like me ngl
Incel icon
😒😒😒
@@guywithcringepast lmao
This is sad asf 😭
The saddest part about hearing this bird's song is that it's supposed to be a duet. There are pauses in the song where a female is supposed to respond. This bird is singing half a song, waiting for someone to complete it but there was no one left who could :(
.
This just made this even more depressing.
*cries*
This makes me even sadder
On top of that they only had one partner for life.
Singing for a female who doesn't respond and literally alone really breaks my heart.
Oh, god. I hadn’t thought of it that way. Now I’m crying again.
Worst when your the last of your species and you don't know it yet. And pass alone... and now you can't hear that beautiful singing no more... that existential dread seeing in both sides the bird and ours is haunting.
Just like being the last human in the world...😭
Singing for the females who dont exist anymore.
Its true. But sad because now I’m in tears. It feels lonely, cruel, and sad because no other female is there which won’t return. This truly hurts and breaks my heart.
I wrote an 8 page essay and a 15 minute speech about this bird for my Environmental Science class this semester, spent 2 whole months researching the Kaua’i ō’ō’, I gave the speech earlier today and it got my professor and a good chunk of the class crying. Once I got home I finally decided to check this video out and I cried my fucking eyes out.
Millions of years of this beautiful creature existing alongside us and it only left 35 years ago. Something I still can’t believe. Just shows how much we have to cherish the animals that live alongside us.
500+ years of each specie dying just for 36 years ago to be the last one of the genus they were apart of..
Earth's mass extinction events are no joke and coinside with spikes in co2 levels. We are living in the biggest spike in history. Go figure. We destroyed any possibilities of life moving forward. Good luck fixing mars cause u definitely dropped the ball with your own planet
Yeah I'd start crying too, damn. Good paper topic though.
oh, well at least you spent hard work on that essay and speech
You did good with your speech,,,
Depressing facts about the last years of this species:
-The last female and male pair of birds in this species were found and kept preserved on an island. However, two typhoons ravaged the island later on, killing the female.
-The last recording of the male’s mating call was in 1987.
-After the recording finished, the guy who recorded it replayed it after the male flew off to listen to it. Apparently, the male then flew back, thinking that the recording of his own call was a female.
-When that last male died we not only lost this species, we lost an entire family of birds. This species was the last of its family of birds, meaning it couldnt even find any mates that looked even remotely like it, it was a mere remnant of its kind.
Not only being the last of its species, but the last in the Mohoidae family
Que tristeza 😢😢😢
It came back because it thought there was at least another one of his kind, the female call is different.
It would have thought it was another of his species, not a female, not the same but still sad, facing that immeasurable loneliness of not having any other of your own kind.
the man who recorded it had an accident and fell to his death. So now the last person to hear their song is also gone
Such a beautiful voice that won’t ever be sung again in nature.
Just play the recording in front of a tree full of lyre birds

Such a beautiful bird. Its haunting song did not deserve to be silenced for lifetimes to come.

The bird think its a doomsday for its life...
That poor little bird. Extinction is so terrible. I feel awful for all these animals. They were lost to mankind's over because of the Destruction. we have caused.
Lifetimes? It's for eternity.
No
As a former Kauai resident, I always used to imagine the now extinct flora and fauna that used to thrive on the island when I was out in nature. The Hawaiian islands are incredible _now_ but 1,000 years ago they must’ve been absolutely mind boggling.
The fires in Hawaii was an act of God to punish the humans on those lands for their natural sins. No surprise and people shouldn't donate money to support the active destruction of the remaining flora and fauna with these so called "rebuilding" plans. Just take the hint and fucking leave.
Great arms bro
Yeah teaming with life
Humans are are cause of everything and let's hope these islands can hang on for a bit longer, because it's happening now with many other species.
@@Someone_that_is_very_tired inflated by steroids.
frick... just had to have a "reflection confused for another bird" scene didn't they?! this film was really really well done. left me bawling, so good job.
“Hello? Anyone? I don’t want to be alone…”
The Kauai O’o was an amazing bird, with a haunting yet beautiful call, and a terrible fate. Hopefully all those birds can sing their songs in heaven, where we can’t hurt them any more. There isn’t even much of a chance to revive them, as the Kauai O’o was the last of its family Mohoidae, meaning there are no close relatives at all to the Kuaui O’o. They are all gone. Mosquito and rat borne disease killed their populations, forcing them into the mountains. Human deforestation cause them to lose their homes. And from our mistakes, the Kauai O’os have joined the list of 900+ species that have been declared extinct. Never again will the world hear the wondrous song of the Kauai O’o, and we have lost so much for it. Let this terrible loss be a lesson, that you cannot replace what isn’t there, that extinction is a permanent; a fate no creature should be forced to. The Kauai O’o’s call is a duet, with pauses where another bird should respond. But now, it’s a song sung to a lost kind. A song that will never be whole again.
No comments craz,your paragraphs are amazing.The grammar is beautiful 🥲
The last part was heartbreaking, singing trying to survive, and finally flying against the world (the one dominated by man), trying to "escape" the list of extinct species, to finally lose the battle and get caught by this "new world", disappearing in the flow of time... forever.
Hopefully one day we can clone them, my belief that we should bring species we’ve personally caused the extinction of directly or indirectly back from the dead.
@@tikimillie It's not possible but possible to do it 😅
If you have cats you shouldn't speak
@@satyasankalpapanigrahi9416 lets ask tht one tiktok dude 😂😂😂
@@tikimilliethe problem is the environment they once flourished in is gone though….it’s now full of species it was never evolved to interact with that we brought there.
It’s weird to think that kauai birds only really went extinct due to the introduction of mosquitos and rats. The mosquitos carried diseases which quickly killed of much of the population, forcing them higher and higher up the mountains (this is still a huge problem with extant Hawaiian species, they are forced further up the mountains each year where the mosquitos can’t survive, but warming of the climate is allowing the mosquitos further up the mountain). It just shows how dangerous mosquitos can be, to humans and to many other animals
And yet, in some parts of the world they are unfortunately essential to the food chain...
Edit: "they" = mosquitos
You mean how dangerous MAN can be, introducing non-native species that can cause the extinction of so many birds.
@@ZealousWinsfortunately in Hawaii they are starting to release genetically modified mosquitos which only produce infertile offspring, so these mosquitos will breed and overtime sterilise the entire mosquito population. It’s fortunately not too late to rid mosquitos of Hawaii for good
@@singsonggirl9267 stop blaming us, other birds n species dont know how tohandle hunger so they just hunt to eat n survive n mosquitos bite for their reproduction but they dont know they carry disease in hawaii
@@teriake4180 we are the reason these happened stop trying to defend humans
The last Kawaii o'o was the last of a species that was also the last of its taxonomic family Mohoidae, a grouping of species that split off 15-20 million years ago from their nearest living relatives. For instance, all Swallows and Martins make up one family that is about 22 million years old. Crows, Ravens, and Jays also make up one family that is about 17 million years old. The loss of biodiversity from the death of this o'o bird was greater than if all crows went extinct and if we were only left with blue jays in their stead.
The thing is we need to achieve balance in every species 😢
Was the kawaii thing mocking or just autocorrect or misspelling
i assume one of the first two
@@Peppermynt. Pretty sure this was autocorrect If i am not wrong. It's very annoying.
How did you measure the value of his species against all the crows and ravens? Curious about your weird math.
@@zephyrr108I'm assuming in terms of impact on their respective taxonomical family, in which crows and ravens make up a portion of their Corvidae family whereas the kauai o'o were the last of the Mohoidae family, subsequently ending the family as a result of the extinction of the species. If Crows and ravens were to disappear, corvidae would still exist through magpies, jays, etc.
This is the most saddest life of that male bird. He didn't even know that he was the last of his species. Which is why the future Hawaiian flag has the Kauai O'O bird on it.
RIP Kauai O’o, you will forever be remembered
he won't because just like him, everyone has an end.
@@RyuDouroall we are is dust in the wind
Beautiful animation, it shows how all that humans brought to Kaua'i was pestilence, death and destruction. I hope that people will realize how many amazing animals we are killing and start to care for this beautiful Earth.
Not all humans it was the colonisers that brought destruction to alot of our native species the birds where thriving when it was only the native people here!
When will people realize that people are the only ones that care about the ecosystem?
I think something this comment may be overlooking us the indigenous people who were already there, and coexisted with the wildlife long before the colonizers came
@@namelessechos5380So just the white humans are monsters. Sounds about right.
@@namelessechos5380 Sadly the population of native tribes were also killed. For example, The Red Indians which were the natives of North America were killed 90% of their entire population by Britishers, French. Maori tribes in New Zealand were also killed brutally. There are many examples which we have records and do not have their records.
I’m crying so hard, the animation is wonderful and also the message and everything about it is so important.
I thought I was silly crying while watching this but now I know I'm not alone. I became so overwhelmed with guilt and remorse. What a beautiful sound gone forever 💔
So sad 💔 just imagine being alone and nobody else with you and you start yelling and yelling and nobody responds because you are the only one left 💔💔
This is so depressing 😢.. Poor bird💔
Just imagine you're the only human left in the world, that's how the bird felt 😢
A thing, where the last human cannot be born within the other living species that especially their home now, and not humans could reinforced it.
I genuinely believe that Charles Darwin would mourn this bird loss upon its death.
My brain translates its little chant to “please I don’t want to die alone” 😢
😰😢
Mine is: Everyone? I don't want to be alone. I need a mate..
My brain translates it as “my love, where are you? I miss you.” Calling for a mate that would never respond 😭
Mine translates as: HELL YEAH, YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN WITH ME.
Mine is: Hello? The AD promised hot singles in 5 miles radius! Where they at?
This was beautifully made. Mahalo. One of our Bay Area Hula Teachers wrote an Oli(chant) for the anniversary of the overturning of the Hawaiian kingdom using the manu O'o as the center of it..
Rayleen Lancaster wrote "Au Hea Wale Ana 'Oe" Where are you? The O'o is looking for a mate. Back then, the scientists had recorded the O'o's song and played it. The last bird came to find where the call was coming from. He came each year for a few years and after that never came again. Kumu Rayleen said that we are now the only voice for the manu O'o and we must speak for him.
Her Oli was gorgeous and her halau danced it. Not a dry eye in the auditorium in Oakland. The O'o was a large bird with yellow feathers under it's wings and legs. These feathers were plucked w/o hurting the bird and it was released to regrow its yellow feathers. Only royalty was presented with hats and capes with the precious yellow feathers in them. Ma Poina, manu O'o.
If only Rayleen was presented here, again, with her authentic song and tribute. Could you do that? Was it presented in Oakland, Ca?
Stay in California where you belong so you don't spread your disease elsewhere.
So sad 😭😭
Hawaii will be free again someday.
this bird always makes me cry and it's now an animation :'( extinction is the worst
I love this piece so much
The bird desperately attempting to survive as the Extinct species list flashes was a beautiful sequence. This bird will forever be remembered. As a legend and a lover.
This is like a mix between sad and creepy
It was the last surviving member of the Mohoidae, which had originated over 15-20 million years previously during the Miocene, with the Kauaʻi ʻōʻō's extinction marking the only extinction of an entire avian family in modern times
This might just be my favorite animated short film of the year. The way the threats to endemic island species that people bring, from mosquito-borne disease to rats and cats that hunt small species to habitat destruction for development are conveyed so efficiently and evocatively through the animation is BRILLIANT! This is exactly what we need to have more depictions of in media to convince people to protect our ecosystems.
The sound design and music are incredible; the film would not be half as effective without them, and the storytelling is clear, concise, and heart-breaking. My favorite creative choice is the build-up to the final death by flashing portraits of iconic extinct species over the years at an increasingly rapid pace (although I might be a bit biased on that front because it's got a thylacine in it, haha).
By the way, I went back and watched all your other uploads and GOODNESS you've improved so much! I love your art style; the characters are expressive and yet realistic at the same time, and the backgrounds convey the richness of nature while not feeling overly detailed or impossible to animate. You've gotten much better at keeping animated forms consistent within shots, and also your ability to craft stories through visuals and voice-over has come a long way since Isolation. (The dialogue is a TAD on-the-nose in that one 0_0, although I appreciate the message.)
In any case, I can't give this film enough praise, and you've earned my subscription!
bro i aint reading tht

The way he was fighting for his life and the fossils are in heaven watching him 😢
He wasn't even fighting for his life he just flew away to go extinct as well as these animals that were moved straight to the kaui was to get to the year of their extinctions so you're wrong 😅
@@RonkebabloNo ur wrong he wanted to mate a female so he goes to find a female but later on he died
I really want scientists to bring them back! 🥺😭🥺
this bird was not the last of its species, not its genus, but its entire family. there are no relative birds to use to bring this one back.
@@kiwi_2_official Its Unfortunate
Even if we can problem is it's not gonna be the same as the original bird since "reviving" the bird requires genes from it's relatives it doesn't mean that the offspring is exactly as the original O'o it'll just be a crossbreed of a bird from said genes
@@saratoga4126 One small issue
the relatives no longer exist
so even if we could get that similar bird with the relatives
that bird was the last of _them._
@@kiwi_2_official they have a very well preserved DNA sample of it so they can find a similar bird and use the DNA on one of its eggs
After Jim Jacobi recorded the final half of this bird's song, he played it back to hear what he'd gotten. To his surprise, the bird flew back to the sound of his own voice. At that point, the bird probably wasn't looking for a female to mate. He probably was just looking for a familiar face and voice.
That's so heartbreaking :[
Cant believe we lost an entire group of birds like this. The Kaua'i O'o was the last O'o.
Its incredible how a sweet lovely voice can be so hauntingly sad. Hearing it normaly with more bird sounds and responding calls it sounds so sweet and happy but hearing it alone in complete silence is heartbreaking.
You know he is singing alone, being the last one, when he dies the sound dies with him forever.
Listening it while you know this, is an otherwordly haunting experience... He has no one to sing to, and maybe he feels it, maybe he doesnt but he is still singing.. He doesnt want to give up...
Im just writing but i still cannot describe what im feeling. The complete emptiness, anxiety and hopelessness in the singing is like a sad piano solo written from heart. You know this is not a happy or normal call. You can hear it.
A hauntingly true recording, reimagined and retold. Animation has the power to tell a story to the world, the medium to translate the hardships of others into human language and expression, and the magic to move us.
This is terrifying yet so beautiful, it's terrible how this is reality. The O'o calls going to only himself and thinking he's not alone.
Great Job humans.
Guys chill in the reply section
Wait why are people still replying to this comment its like so old

Outside of the themes and powerful message, I just want to say that this is seriously Disney-grade animation, whoever made this is BEYOND talented!
This made me cry so hard, and btw This is one of the best animation I ever seen keep up the good work!:D
I always cry whenever I hear his last song.
I don’t know you but I ended up here. This was super sweet, reminds me of the pictures of the poor last thylacine sitting in its cage
I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating.
As a qoute once said, "We never truely value what we have until we have lost it"
What makes this animation so good is that you added face expressions on the bird
I wasn't expecting to cry this much when I clicked on the video. Well done, truly.
I said I won't cry. I did

I became a bird lover like 2 years ago and i have been investigating alot about these creatures ever since
And the fact that i wasn't even alive at the time the Kauai o'o got extinct, i felt very but very bad for the bird, not only that but i never got to witness such a melancolic yet beautiful call...
Still, This is very well made and the emotions drawn really broke me, you have an amazing talent!
This is how I feel about Wood Thrushes and bluebirds. It seems like all the most beautiful birds are at some kind of risk. I want to finish painting my birdhouse now and get more. We can do our part to save our favorite species!
I am speechless. If only every human in the world would see this video......
.....
When he saw the hole in the tree only to see rats eating the remains of one of his kind, and he flies away saying "how could you"...
I felt that really.
Thank you for creating this beautiful film. As a remembrance of the beautiful Kauaʻi ʻōʻō,
REST IN PEACE THE LAST KAUAI I WISH YOU LIVE INTO THE BETTER WORLD FIND YOUR SOULMATE IN THERE ARRIVE INTO HEAVEN THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL LOUD MELODY HOOMANS HEARING IT OUT WENT WELL I LOVE YOU THE LAST KAUAI !! 😓💕🌹🌱🙏✨
I understand that it's saddening and thank you for showing this to all of us...
This bird had more character development than most big movie protagonist.
Humanity has to care more about the home that we live in, and about all the other species that we're sharing our home with.
Yo ! I'm glad that I found this channel, I was searching something more from animations about Kauaʻi ʻōʻō and found this video and "Vanished Voices: a farewell to the O'o". Gonna say it's very beautiful and I cried (again). It's sad that I didn't have even a chance to see them because they all were extinct years after I was born :(
Also I'm really shocked that you guys don't have much subs because the animation and basically everything in this video were great 🖤💛
You did an amazing animation. I started crying when it was losing hope of finding a partner
Good luck with your studies
3:09 After reading the description, now I want humanity to be on this list with the extinct species.
If aliens would come down and start destroying our habitats the way we did the extinct animals', well...I would be so happy to see corporate CEOs die to pollution before I went myself.
I understand where you're coming from, but we'd be foolish to think the extinction of humanity would suddenly help the environment or bring justice to it.
There are people who've been trying to replenish the environment as best as they can and these thoughts only toss them away.
(Also the environment would kinda just rot for a while, with nobody left to stop the oil, chemicals and possible radiation leaks from abandoned buildings)
Oh come on humans are not going extinct so just deal with humans still living in this earth all the animals need humans they cannot live freely okay
never been so moved by a video about a bird, shed tears for him , its just too sad ...
O'o sounded so beautiful, I wish I could hear them thriving.
Wow... This was very sad and I almost cried, I got sad when all the extinct animals started flashing up... Life does really flash before your eyes... A moment of silence...
Ok that's good, I would like to talk about how well the bird poses/stances are, as in 2:07, the flapping and feet position is awesome and 3:04 be looking like an anime intro and I love the way the wings fold and leg position, very good art style too
Thank you so much especially to the creators of this video. For explaining the repercussions of humans lifestyle in such a nuanced way!
The animation is actually great, this deserve more view than it is currently
I literally couldn't stop crying for several minutes the first time I watched the video with the last recorded Kauai o'o. It's literally the sound of extinction, it's so haunting. Dozens of species can go extinct in only the next few days and there's nothing most of us can do to stop it.
I fear that it won't take too long until the day that there will be videos out there with "the last recorded elephant" or "the last recorded tiger".
While this bird spent the rest of its life desperately finding a mate, vacationers in Hawaii were having a blast jamming to their cassette tapes, snapping photos with their polaroid cameras, playing arcade machines and lawn darts, and attending rock concerts. It was in the 80s after all.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so sad, this hurts 😢💔
I literally cried just watching this
I hope the scientist can rediscover it
You do realize even if they do it won't be an actual kauai it will be an artificial clone of it only a shadow of the real thing

This is something that can make a grown man cry
I cried at the extinction sequence at the end.
i already knew about the Kauai O'o, but this just made me pretty much sob.
I feel so bad for the bird especially the reflection part i hope to see this bird in heaven
I feel so bad for the last precious bird who's alive. Such a beautiful bird.
OMG I almost cried!! Such a touching story of an Oo trying to find his lost love. Sadly he will never find her.
I’ve collected myself now, but I had a Serious cry. I’m at a loss for words. I was going to say something about birds and islands and the work New Zealand is doing to create predator-free habitats for their native bird species but a shroud has fallen over my mind. This saddens and angers me. We can do better.
Thank you for the short film.
This definitely broke my heart tears came out and the part where I cried a lot was the death where portraits of extinct species were shown and the Kaua'i ōō will start crying and die this animation is beautiful and leaves a message too cute, I love you You won my subscription and my like.

The “A song that will be silenced forever” got me crying every time I watch this video
If Thanos wasn't fictional, i'd be okay with getting snapped out of existence.
So horribly sad - i know alot of species are extinct now but watching the entire depiction was so super sad.. his last moments must have been so lonely 🥺
This was beautiful
It genuinely made me sad, I hate how humans ruin beautiful ecosystems
What’s even sadder is that there were already humans living on the island coexisting with the animals until the colonizers purged the wildlife and the Hawaiians. I’m proud to be one,
Now this is the very definition of an unfinished symphony
I haven’t never felt so sad for a bird in forever
I couldn’t stop crying.. 😭😭😭
This has me crying so hard, I wish I could apologise to all the extinct animals and ask their forgiveness for what humans have done to their world. This is so so heartbreaking.
this wanna make me cry because it was my favorite bird and always be😭
Well it's you're favorite no more
This animated short is amazing, beautiful and sad at the same time. It’s depressing to hear his song and to know that his entire genus is extinct because of us.
i take comfort in that he probably didn't comprehend that he was the last. it's still tragic, but at least the bird probably didn't know it.
