Well, these might not be classified as "wild bird" images but I think they are rather fun so I wanted to share them. :) Sidenote: seeing what the benches looked like I´m glad I was not the one sitting there.

 It is quite a beautiful bird when you look at it. But people thought there was too many of them and was not too happy about them. This one was alone but most of the time you always saw several nearby.

I don´t know why but these birds always puzzles me. So colorful. I saw them in Morocco too and think it is the same species. In Hawaii they can also have a yellow or orange chest. Another  thing is that the images I have not really matches what I´ve seen elsewhere. :( 
Or maybe they eat pineapple and get colored by it (giggling), at least the pineapple ice cream was yellow.

Is this one for real?

Ok, I´m asking you what this is. For a moment I saw this bird in a tree. Is it moulting or is it sick? Because it can´t really look like that, can it?

This is a rooster and needs no presentation I think. For some reason, I don´t know what, they run wild in Hawaii. And you can find them pretty much everywhere except in towns. At least I have not seen them in towns.

About Yellow-fronted Canary
Yellow-fronted Canary, Serinus mozambicus, another introduced species. It is found mainly around Honolulu. And that is where I saw it. I thought it was a finch but when I started to look for it´s ID I found it is a canary.  Well, it is also known as the Green Singing Finch. This bird was drinking from the shower used by the surfers and swimmers.

I thought this white dove was a species of it´s own as they were very common in Honolulu. But it seems to be a Rock Dove with a wide range of color forms.  This one too, is introduced to Honolulu in 1796 according to  explorebiodiversity
