- Fakta menarik
- The Kauaʻi ʻŌʻō was the last surviving member of the family Mohoidae, and its extinction — confirmed after its final mate's song went unanswered and the species was last recorded in 1987 — ended the only entirely endemic Hawaiian bird family, one unrelated despite superficial resemblance to Australo-Pacific honeyeaters.

- Makanan
- Nectar (especially from Lobelia species and ʻōhiʻa lehua flowers) supplemented with small invertebrates and fruit gleaned from lapalapa and other native trees
