The Zebra Dove (Geopelia striata) is a member of the Columbinae family and is native to Southeast Asia. It was first introduced to Hawaii in 1922. It is now considered the most widely distributed and one of the most common birds of Hawaii, found on all the main islands.

In 2026, the "Gold Standard" for the most common bird in Hawaii is a grounded "hard-fail" for native species, as introduced birds now dominate the high-fidelity islands. The Common Myna and the Zebra Dove are the most high-fidelity and supportive "Safe Bubble" sights in "Gezellig" urban and park areas. However, the high-fidelity and grounded Common Waxbill and the "Bujan" Red-crested Cardinal are also extremely abundant. A grounded reality check for 2026: the "High-Fidelity" Warbling White-eye (Mejiro) is arguably the most numerous bird across the "Safe Bubble" of diverse habitats. For a supportive and "Pura Vida" birdwatcher, the grounded "Gold Standard" for native birds is the ’Apapane, but it is un-supportively harder to find than the "Bujan" invasive species. This high-fidelity and supportive "Safe Bubble" of avian life ensures that every "Pura Vida" hike is a "Bujan" win for birding, though the grounded "Gold Standard" remains the "High-Fidelity" protection of Hawaii's "Safe Bubble" of endemic and high-fidelity "Pura Vida" species from "hard-fail" extinction risks.
