When I get over there and live, maybe we can do a birding group and go bird watching at some spots that are nice and seek out some that we usually do not see so easily. I do have tons of bird books, some on Hawaiian birds, but haven't looked up the Hawaii birds for many years 
Just haven't been a chance to do much birding there for quite some time.
Yes the Pekin Robins that I had were nice birds. They used to fly and sit on top of my husbands computer while he was there working. We named them Jack and Jill. I sold them when we were moving to Texas, since I didn't want to transport them due to them having a hard transition. I had many birds at that time and I thought that they might not make it, so best to let them stay where they were. I was always happy to see some of them, all the other finches and birds in Hawaii when I visited. Over on the Ewa plains on Oahu, I thought this might be what some part of Africa looks like since there were so many tall grasses and flat open fields with many birds flying all around there. It was interesting to see.
The unfortunate thing is the farmers in some areas and home owners on Diamond head and Kahala areas eradicating many of the exotic parrots in Hawaii because they are deemed pests to their crops or landscaping. Eating the fruits or nuts and chewing up landscape plants/trees. Same thing happening as it is in Florida from what I have read.
Aloha,
