The Waikoloa Nightingale

f the iconic animals we associate
with Hawai`i — humpback whales,
pueo, even the beloved gecko —
the donkey most likely doesn’t make the
list. And while they don’t walk comically
upside down on our ceilings, majestically
circle the skies, or leap playfully from the
ocean, donkeys were integral to the success
of Hawai`i Island’s coffee industry in its early
days, and hold an important place in the
state’s agricultural history.
Still spotted occasionally in the lava fields
near Waikoloa Beach Resort and Waikoloa
Village, the Waikoloa Nightingales — as they
are called for the semi-melodious braying
noise they make day and night, distinct
from the typical honking of a donkey — are
descendants of those working animals that
helped coffee farmers get their product to
market almost 200 years ago.
BEAST OF BURDEN
“Donkeys first came to Oah‘u as pack animals
in 1825,” tells Dr. Brady Bergin, a Waimeabased veterinarian who has spearheaded
efforts with the Hawai`i Humane Society in recent years to care for
and find adoptive homes for the Waikoloa herd. “A few ended up on
the Big Island, working the higher elevation coffee farms on the slopes
of Hualālai. They’re surefooted and hearty animals, and they can pack
more per pound than horses.”
The donkeys proved to be invaluable for the coffee farmers for
more than 100 years, packing loads of coffee cherries from the
rugged mountainside fields down to the drying and roasting facilities
around Kona, and from there to the coast where the beans would be
shipped to market.

Ka‘ahamanu Highway, the donkeys were cut off from
their traditional watering holes near the coast. New
homes and golf courses were being built too, and the
by-now 600 or so free-ranging donkeys came to be
regarded as more and more of a nuisance.
PRESERVING AN ICON
Attempts were made over the years to round up the
wandering donkeys and relocate them to an area
mauka of Waikoloa Village, where fencing could keep
them mostly contained. But after a major fire swept
through the area in 2006 and drought conditions
became severe, the donkeys would break through
fences looking for water and food, often wandering
into Waikoloa Village proper. Traffic issues and
resident complaints multiplied.
In early 2009, one concerned Waikoloa resident,
Anika Glass, formed a group called Mālama Waikoloa
Nightingales to support humane management of
Waikoloa donkey herds. Glass was also instrumental
in bringing the Humane Society of the United States
