  • Psittirostra psittacea, a critically endangered honeycreeper endemic to the Hawaiian islands. The last confirmed sighting was in 1989 on Kauaʻi. There are no more recent records; it's thought to be extinct.

    The ʻŌʻū is one of the few Hawaiian endemics that occurred on all the major islands at once without differentiating into subspecies; this suggests that birds traveled among the islands regularly.
