The 'alal is native to the Big Island where earlier reintroductions were tried.

In early November , wildlife experts released five of the birds on the island of Maui .

The football-sized birds are about 18 inches long and a duller black color than crows in North America .

Their decline is blamed on a loss of habitat due to logging and deforestation.

The birds are being released on Maui , possibly in the Ka' Forest Reserve .

Officials say they hope to learn more about how the birds adjust to the forests of east Maui in the absence of 'io ( Hawaiian hawk) It hasn't been decided if the birds will remain on the island or if they'll be recaptured.
