ʻuaʻu
Dark-rumped petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia sandwichen- sis), endemic to the main islands of Hawaiʻi. Mongooses have joined pigs and hogs in wiping out this bird on several islands. Native Hawaiians also eliminated their share, killing the bird for food. The meat of the young was reserved for the chiefs and was kapu to commoners. The petrel is almost extinct. Also called ʻuwaʻu, waʻu.
