Thousands of seabirds nest in Hawai`i each year to raise their young. You can help save their offspring by turning off outdoor lights at night, especially during the months of October and November when many seabird chicks are emerging from their nests for their first solo flights. These fledglings are attracted by bright lights and are often maimed or killed due to their inexperience, colliding with cars and power lines.

If you find an injured seabird, please place it in a small covered box and immediately call your local DLNR Forestry and Wildlife office for more details.

Keep Hawai`i Wild. It's your heritage, too.
