Helen and Andre Raine and artist Trysen (Tkay) Kaneshige spoke with Lexi Jones on HI95 Kauaʻi about Trysen’s work to share the ‘Cat Safe, Wildlife Safe’ message through art.

Local multimedia artist Trysen Kaneshige has spent the last two months painting larger-than-life murals of our native waterbirds and seabirds. The project, which was supported by the County of Kaua‘i’s ‘Rise to Work’ program, uses street art to introduce Kaua‘i residents to our endangered native birds, and to the idea that both cats and birds are protected when cats are kept indoors.

Andre and Helen join podcast host Nick Swick from the American Birding Association to share their experience of birding in Hawai’i, home to some of the world’s rarest birds.
