    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 :(

    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.

    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.

    “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.

    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

    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.

If Crows and ravens were to disappear, corvidae would still exist through magpies, jays, etc.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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.
