I´m not sure the juvie belongs to the adults on the images. It was some distance between them.
This is a very common bird in Honolulu. Also an introduced one. In this case in 1865 from India.

About Red-Crested Cardinal on Explore Biodiversity

This is also an introduced bird from South America to Oahu. The first image I took of it. Turned out not to be the last one as the bird was very commmon on the island. I liked it. It has a certain charm.

About Zebra Dove on Explore Bio diversity
 
A snippet:
This bird is native to Asia and introduced in 1922. It quickly becomes accustomed to humans and will take food from your hand if you offer.

That was true enough. They were everywhere. Especially when there was food around.
