Bishop Museum’s original exhibit takes visitors soaring through the science and cultural significance of Hawaiian forest birds. Learn about the rich and diverse natural history of native Hawaiian forest birds, their preeminence in traditional Hawaiian culture, their direct connection to the health of native forests and the dire need for their conservation. Interactive features will illuminate the stories of these treasured creatures, as visitors take a birds’-eye perspective and soar above a native forest with virtual goggles. Families will enjoy “‘Elepaio: Circle of Life,” a Chutes and Ladders-type board game aimed at helping the small bird overcome threats and continue into the next generation. In “Native or Not?” visitors can test their knowledge of local versus alien birds. In addition, visitors can coo their best bird call at a hands-on station alongside a virtual kapilimanu (Hawaiian bird hunter). The sound will be recorded and the kapilimanu will score how well the visitor imitates that particular bird.
