My last birds for Birdfest Hawaii are done! The extinct Hawai'i Mamo was revered by the Ali'i for their golden yellow feathers. At Birdfest, prices are higher than last time. Supply is extremely limited. See comments for more info. #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #BirdArt #Birds #Hawaii

@holykoolaid.bsky.social delivers a striking eulogy for Charlie Kirk. Factual. Documented. Well delivered.

This is not on the #AvianAugust list but it is similar. Hawai'i 'O'o went extinct long before Kauai 'O'o - some time in the 1920's. The yellow feather capes of the Ali'i were made from the 'O'o yellow feathers. Thousands of them. #AvianAugust2025 #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt #SciArt #BirdArt

Here are pictures of my glass Pueo owl mosaic before and after lightly being (tack) fused together. This makes all the tiny glass shards into one solid piece and keeps the detail better than full fusing. #glassart #stained glass #islandart

#AvianAugust is pau! These species shown were made for BirdFest Hawaii on Oct 4. Mahalo for all the likes, reposts and follows! ❤️ And thank you #AvianAugust2025 for bringing worldwide attention to our critically endangered Hawaiian birds! Aloha! 🤙 #SciArt #WildlifeArt #BirdArt #FiberArt #NatureArt

🪶 I’ve completed Avian August 2025! I hope all the conservation programs will go well and they live long and prosper. 🌺 鳥類月間2025〜ハワイ編〜　完走しました！　今夏も毎日TLで大勢の鳥を観測できて楽しかったです。また来年！ #AvianAugust #Birds

There are fewer than 900 Palila left in the world, all living in the dry Mamane forests of the Big Island, and Mamane seeds are one of their only food sources. Feral sheep and goats have decimated these trees. #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt #BirdArt

'Ula-'ai-Hawane means "red bird that eats the fruit of the Hawane (Loulu) palm". Was found only near Hilo, Kona, and Kohala regions on the Big Island. Extinct as of the late 1800's or early 1900's. #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt #BirdArt

Husband trying! Does not do felt but does do glass. ☺️ Needs encouragement.

Kiwikiu are down to fewer than 200 individuals left on just 12 sq miles of range on Maui. Conservation efforts are underway but always hampered by science deniers. Just say NO to science deniers. #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #SciArt #FiberArt #BirdArt

'Akiapola'au uses its thick lower beak to strike branches like a woodpecker and then uses its thin curved upper beak to pry the bugs out. Only a small number of these is left on Hawaii Island. Conservation is important #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #BirdArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt

Hawaii 'Elepaio! These adorable native Hawaiian flycatchers announce their arrival before you can even see them in the trees. It's no wonder why they're called 'Elepaio-which sounds like the call they make. #AvianAugust #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #BirdArt #FiberArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt

'Akohekohe for #AvianAugust . This native Hawaiian bird sometimes sounds like a bird and sometimes sounds like a frog. Critically endangered and only found in a limited habitat on Maui. Support conservation. Science deniers sluck. #AvianAugust2025 #SciArt #BirdArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #FiberArt

'Oma'o is found only on Hawaii Island. If you hear a police whistle and you're all alone in the mountain forest, that's an 'Oma'o. If you're all alone and whistling for help, others might think you're just an 'Oma'o. #AvianAugust2025 #AvianAugust #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt #BirdArt #birds

'Akepa is a species of crossbill now only found in a small region on Hawaii Island. Males are bright orange and females are often overlooked because they are gray. Numbers are dwindling and conservation is essential. #AvianAugust2025 #AvianAugust #SciArt #natureart #wildlifeart #fiberart #birdart

#Oahu people! Need your help!

#AvianAugust2025 day 6 is 'Apapane! So hard to spot near the volcano summit, I rely on listening for their sad otherworldly calls. That's really the best I can describe it. #SciArt #NatureArt #wildlifeArt #BirdArt #needlefelted #FiberArt #birds #Hawaii

'I'iwi may have gone extinct on the island of Oahu in 2018. Still found on the other Hawaiian islands, this iconic Hawaiian bird needs to be protected for future generations. #needlefelted #fiberArt #SciArt #birdart #natureart #wildlifeart 🪶

'Akikiki may have gone extinct in the wild this year. Hoping that a captive population can one day be released back in the wild like the 'Alala. Science deniers are blocking efforts to succeed. Conspiracy theorists make everyone lose. #birds #BirdArt #SciArt #FiberArt #BskyArt #needlefelt #Hawaii

A new chick emerges - take a moment to appreciate nature- this nesting manu-o-kū waited patiently for its little baby and now they’re here! The mama has a tiny fish in its mouth- holding it for when the baby wants it. #birdsofhawaii #manuoku #babybird

Building these flocks is fun because now i can make little flowers out of their clusters 😆

Do you have any fish? These baby manu-o-Ku (white terns) are my favorite to watch nested on bare branches in trees all around downtown Honolulu. In the middle of the busy city these little sea birds seem to be thriving. #birds #BirdArt #NeedleFelted #SciArt #Hawaii

Sad rain frogs : ( #needlefelting #felting #miniatureart #sculpture #fiberart #needlefelted #artwork #frog #animals #cuteanimals #art

This was my favorite one lmao #mushroom #needlefelting #jordans

Way too much fun making these manu buddies 😆 Palila with a basket full of Māmane snacks, ‘ōma‘o with a lil ‘ākala berry snack

Puaiohi (Kauai Thrush) are only found in one place in the whole world - on the Alaka'i Plateau on Kauai. There may be fewer than 200 individuals left. It's better to support conservation instead of joining yet another flucking war. #needlefelted #SciArt #BirdArt #Birds #BskyArt #Hawaii

Pueo (Hawaiian Short-eared owl) are endangered on Oahu due to urbanization and development.I tried to make them small but they are short/round instead.😅Are you feeling watched? The world is watching imperial barbie and her stormtroopers commit crimes every day. #needlefelted #birds #birdart #sciart

Nene is the rarest goose in the world. Hawaii's State bird, they almost went extinct in 1952 with only 30 individuals left. After conservation efforts, populations increased to more than 3K today. Conservation works. And science deniers can go fluck themselves. #needlefelted #birds #birdart #sciart

Sharing to #SciArt this bit of critically endangered cuteness. 🥰

Also this. 😡 chng.it/rxbxSwBQbW

SpaceX has already ruined bird nesting habitat in Texas. Now it wants to ruin more habitat in a protected Hawaiian marine sanctuary, the only home to millions of baby birds. Please spread the word and sign the petition stop them. chng.it/rxbxSwBQbW

Amazing detail and skill level on every felt Fox Graves does! ❤️

Tiny borbs - Hawaii edition: This 'Apapane was made for my Hawaii bird art friend, @alohaposthi.bsky.social 🫶 'Apapane are honey creepers only found in the Hawaiian Islands. Their numbers are dwindling. Please support conservation! #needlefelted #birdart #birds #sciart bsky.app/profile/aloh...

Mini #needlefelted 'Alala (Hawaiian crows). This highly intelligent crow species is the rarest in the world. Extinct in the wild for decades, 5 captive-bred birds were just released into the wild on Maui this year. Busy prepping for Birdfest Hawaii. 😁 #birds #birdart #bskyart

Happy #caturday from the laundry basket. 😸

#throwbackthursday Here is an old poor-quality picture of something I made almost 10 years ago. My favorite movie in the #1980s Do you remember? #needlefelted

'Amakihi is one of Hawaii's remaining honey creeper species. There are around 800K of them left, which may sound like a lot but not compared to over 300 million American robins. Hawaii is quickly losing all of its native birds and resident dump and his pet doge have just cut $14millon to save them.

Kiwikiu is a critically endangered bird species found only on a tiny area on the island of Maui. There are fewer than 200 individuals left in the entire world. When you vote, vote for the candidate that believes I'm science. #needlefelted #birdart #birds #hawaii #bskyart

Maui 'Alauahio are endangered honey creepers that can now only be found in one small area on the island of Maui. When you vote, vote for the candidate that will support the environment and conservation of nature. #needlefelted #birdart #birds #hawaii

'Alawi is a honey creeper found only on the island of Hawai'i. All of Hawai'i's. native bird populations are declining so rapidly in the past few years due to warming allowing mosquitoes to spread avian malaria further into their habitat. #needlefelted #birdart #birds #bskyart #hawaii

'Anianiau are the smallest of Hawai'i's remaining honey creepers, and found only on the island of Kaua'i. All of our native birds are endangered. A small population has been moved to Honolulu Zoo for a conservation breeding program. #addBirder #birds #birdart #needlefelted

I made a flock of 'akeke'e that are only found on the island of Kaua'i. In 2021 there were less than 700 left and much fewer today. Please stand up for conservation. #needlefelted #birdart #bskyart
