Those actions were just partially successful. Sadly, just 142 individuals were left in the wild as of 2019. Fortunately, the 2019 breeding season was incredibly flourishing and 34 chicks are still healthy! Endeavors to rehabilitate their population have been somewhat successful, but the species nonetheless wavers on the verge of extinction.
Fruit Dove
The Mariana fruit dove is in danger of extinction, it's native to Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands. A mass of dangers has resulted in the native population of fruit dove shrinking in recent years.

Hooded Grebe
The hooded grebe is a bird inhabitant of Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia. The primary danger to this species is predation by the American mink. During the first year of the mink's overture, the population of the hooded grebe decreased by half. Due to this reduction, the hooded grebe received a place on the critically threatened list.

They mainly inhabit north of the 60 latitude line. Due to melting polar ice caps, the target that snowy owls meal on, like mice, are furthermore disappearing. Mixed with habitat loss, these circumstances have contributed largely to the 85% reduction in their population since 2003.
Great Curassow
The great curassow is a big bird recognised for its odd, wavering whistle-call. It is a helpless bird inhabitant to the rainforests of Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. Deforestation due to severe logging exercise is the core reason of a decrease in its population since the late 1980s. It is presently listed as vulnerable.'
California Condor
Another bird that may be widely recognised is the California condor. Unfortunately, they are critically threatened. The specie actually went extinct in the wild in 1987. During the preceding years, the US Department of the Interior (DOI) began an ambitious endeavor to capture every condor left in the wild.
At the time, that number was just 26. Since then, the cumulative population has surged to over 400, and the DOI has reintroduced Condors to Zion and Grand Canyon National Parks.
These numbers can be misleading, though. There are presently just 44 mature individuals in the wild, and even minor damages of habitat threaten to decrease this population further.
African Grey Parrot
The African grey parrot is a grand but in danger bird. With a wingspan of 4652 cm, it is an average size for the species. In the previous 20-25 years, the wild population has decreased by 95-99%.
Poachers value the grey parrot for its intelligence and elegant coloration. A Cornell University study computes that 2.1 to 2.5 million forbidden birds are included in parrot exchange. When the volume of legally traded birds is accepted into account, the population is decreasing at an unsustainable rate.
Northern Bald Ibis
The solitary northern bald ibis lives along the west coast of the Saudi Arabian Peninsula and along the coast of Northern Africa. Researches measure there are less than 500 birds left in the wild.
Terrible, as rare as 10 may be left if their notable span of Syria. It is deemed to be the unique bird in the Middle East. Over the previous several decades, hunting, loss of habitat, and trade have provided to its existing status as endangered.
Ultramarine Lorikeets
These birds are distinct because of their gorgeous coloration. They are endemic to the Marquesas Islands, an archipelago approximately 4,800 kms off the west coast of Mexico.
The bird used to live in nearly every island within the archipelago, but presently can just be found on the island of Ua Huka. The introduction of the black rat to the regional ecosystem ravaged the population and provided the lorikeet critically threatened.
White-rumped Vulture
At initial look, the listed number of 10,000 wild White-rumped Vultures may seem high. However in contrast, the global population of this species was several million strong in 1980.
At that time, it was one of the greatly widespread birds of prey in the world. The primary reason of this decrease is Diclofenac poisoning. Diclofenac is a chemical compound utilized to deal with diseases such as gout. In 2019 the bird is regardless considered critically endangered.
Regent Honeyeater
The regent honeyeater gets its title due to one of its preferred food sources: nectar of eucalyptus trees. The bird is native to SE Australia. Unfortunately, it has been in reduction since the late 20th century. Habitat loss due to the collective impacts of human actions and global warming have rendered to their critically endangered status.
Giant ibis
Definitely more great than its tiny, trash plunging relatives, the giant ibis has been declared the most jeopardized and developmentally unmistakable bird on the planet.

They remain around a meter tall and weigh more than 4 kg, and convey a dusty earthy colored tone across their plumage and uncovered skin. Close to nothing is had some significant awareness of their rearing propensities, and it's assessed that a little more than 100 reproducing sets are left in nature. Persevering deforestation, dry spells, and hunting have together added to this present species' quick decay.
New Caledonian owlet-nightjar
By a long shot the most subtle types of bird on the planet, the New Caledonian owlet-nightjar has not been seen alive beginning around 1998. The species is found distinctly in the humid timberlands of New Caledonia - a little archipelago 1,210 km toward the east of Australia - and is known from only two safeguarded examples.
One of these was the principal New Caledonian owlet-nightjar at any point found, and was distinguished when it flew into somebody's window in 1880. The other example is dated to 1915.
Two or three endeavors to New Caledonia in 2002 and 2007 neglected to deliver a solitary sighting. It's thought there are somewhere in the range of 1 and 49 grown-ups left in nature.

It's idea that there are as of now less than 1,000 grown-ups left in the wild, so the Cambodian government has set up six Bengal Florican Conservation Areas to ensure 173 square kilometers of rearing living space in the fields and 138 square kilometers of open timberland.
They've likewise been chipping away at mindfulness programs for neighborhood networks, which will ideally see a decrease in poaching. Various ranchers living near the preservation regions have joined a natural life well disposed cultivating plan as a component of the program.
Forest Owlet
This stocky little bird may look tame, however you wouldn't have any desire to impede its when it's eager. The forest owlet wields strangely immense claws, which it uses to catch prey creatures up to two times its own size.
