They have these guys all over Kauai. I thought it was so weird how a bird indigenous to the islands looked so similar to an American Cardinal, so I did a bit of research and found out that they were not indigenous and were introduced in like the 50's I wanna say. Cool looking birds.

Such a neat bird. Wow.
