For at least 15 million years the Family of Mohoidae birds existed.
Common on the island of Kauai till the mid-twentieth century where the introduction of predictors, climate change, and loss of habitat lead to their extinction.
The entire line of birds ended with the last known male singing for his mate in 1987. This sad love song was caught on tape never to be heard again. Normally a duet you can hear the male sing and then wait for a response from a female that never comes.
