Hawai‘i’s Seabirds Need Your Help During Fallout Season
During fallout season (Sept. 15 to Dec. 15), people can help seabirds by keeping pet cats indoors; keeping pet dogs on a leash when walking; turning off or minimizing outdoor lighting; replacing outdoor lighting fixtures with seabird friendly lighting; closing window curtains at night; and keeping an eye out for seabirds that may need assistance.
