Digital sketch of five birds with varying faded colours all perched on a wooden dowl, except for one standing on a white slate. Top to bottom, left to right no. 27 a green bird, no 25 a black bird, no 28 a black-red bird, no 31 a stout brown-red bird, and no. 30 an orange-black bird.

The final batch of birds for this year's Avian August are all the Hawaiian birds that are considered currently extinct.

There are no decent reference photos so keeping these birds sketchy and faded felt more fitting (1/2)
