The Hawaiian crow, ‘Alalā (Corvus hawaiiensis), is a critically endangered endemic bird no longer found in the wild. They were once common throughout the Hawaiian islands. Highly intelligent and vocal, they are named after their vocalization, which sounds like the cry of a child.
ʻAlalā was an important seed disperser of Hō‘awa (Pittosporum sp.), a beautiful native shrub with tiny clusters of creamy-white flowers and small orange fruit pods that split open to reveal jet-black seeds inside. Lacking this important seed-dispersing bird, several species of Hō'awa have become endangered themselves.
The ʻAlalā Project is a partnership between several organizations that seek to bring these birds back to the wild through a captive breeding program. A portion of the proceeds from this print will go to one of the organizations involved in this program, the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, which houses many of these birds.
