There are different types of birds in Maui. This makes Maui a very popular holiday bird watching activity, with relatively easy access to many bird-watching spots.
Some of the best places to watch Maui are Kanah Beach Park in Kahloi, Kelia Talab National Wildlife Refuge in Kehi, Hammer Grove in Haley Kala National Park, and the Wycomoi Nature Trail on Hina Two Road. It is not uncommon to see large numbers of beautiful Maui birds in your hotel or condo ground.
If you have the opportunity to see the Maui birds in an ancient setting in the second week of each month (weather permitting), the Hawaiian Nature Conservancy leads to an increase in the Waikamoi Cloud Forest on the slopes of Haleakala.
13 Popular Birds of Maui
According to the American Bird Conservation, of the 142 native birds that have returned to Hawaii, only 44 remain. Of those 44, 33 have been declared endangered, and 33, 10 of them have not been seen in years and are thought to be extinct.This is bad news. In the spirit of keeping things positive, here are five birds, depending on where you go, you will encounter in your journey around Maui, which is an endangered animal.
1.Black Crowned Night Heron
With its stocky body, short legs and hunched over appearance, the black-crowned night raven somewhat resembles a penguin when standing still. they typically grew between 20 – 28 inches and roost primarily in the marshes and wetlands.

They eat just about anything which will be found in or around the water, including insects, fish, mice, frogs, smaller birds and garbage. If you’d wish to see one on Maui, we recommend the Kanaha Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary in Kahului (near the airport) and therefore the Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge in Kihei.
2.Cattle Egret
Cattle pets are now found around most of Maui, but they are mainly found near fields, golf courses and water. They prey mostly on insects, but we have seen them swallow frogs and large numbers of geckos. Standing tall on two slender legs, the birds often share the sidewalk with people. Livestock breeders and therefore the Hawaii Board of Agriculture and Forestry served the livestock thanks to their harmonious relationship with the livestock. Australian research has shown that such bees reduce the amount of bees that bother a cow by eating it directly from its body.

3.Lovebirds
There are many types of feral birds on Maui. But the ones we see the most are the lovebirds with pink faces. They tend to be predominantly blue and green with a pink face and throat. They are very sociable; and noisy. As Maui News noted, the love of Maui residents hates the love of birds. On the one hand, they are beautiful and good looking. They only want you to be in tropical paradise if it makes sense. The chatter, which gives you a way back to the place, is good, but it can certainly be annoying. They eat fruit from trees and even enter people’s homes.

4.Myna
So lovebirds want to chat. But, do you recognize the bird that wakes you up every morning? It’s probably Myna (or rooster, but that’s for an extra conversation). Myna is often found in trees everywhere.

While their solid blackheads, gold-rimmed eyes, and bright yellow beaks and legs are good enough to detect, they do actually have a negative impact on biodiversity, agriculture, and human interests in Mecca. She’s really naughty, in fact, Australia named Myna her most important bug/trouble and went by the nickname “Flying Mice“. On the lovely side of the ledger, Myna Birds will always be in tune with a mate.
5.Nene Goose
The official bird of Hawaii, the Nene Goose is 16 inches tall and spends most of its time at the bottom. In fact, some are born without the power to fly. Although birds once reared Maui, they became extinct here in the 1890s. In fact, the total number of Nene on the island of Hawaii rose to 30 in the 1950s. The Nene Goose now finds itself on the list of species.

Thanks to conservation efforts, however, there are now approximately 2,500 nines spread throughout Hawaii. On Maui, you will see them regularly on Haleakala.

Another introduced alien species in Hawaii, the gorgeous Red-crested Cardinal was originally from Brazil and may be found in other South American countries. These birds are often seen in pairs in parks and gardens and are easily found to feed the birds.

Java sparrows feed mainly on grass and seeds and are sexually diverse – with a gray upper and pink upper body, while the feminine Java spray is grayer.
