From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oahu Alauahio, was a small finch- like bird that was found on the island of Oahu. It was a brown yellow bird with a small bluish bill. It was four inches long and had a small tail made up of mustard colored feathers. It feed on invertebrates that were hidden under the bark of trees. It used the bill to peck off the bark and the insects were licked out using a specialized tongue. The bird was lost because it required good native forest and most of the forests were changed and cut down to loss good habitat and loss of good invertebrates. By the late 1990s this bird was gone, even though there were extra reports of this bird on the island, however most of these reports were confirmed to be the Oahu Amakihi
