		Islands, especially isolated oceanic islands, have evolved in isolation for millions of years, and their animals and plants have had to compete with only a limited range of species.
		The flightless Stephen Island wren, one of only a few species of flightless songbird ever to have lived, was driven to extinction in 1894 either by the lighthouse keeper's cat or by the lighthouse keeper and other collectors in response to museum demand.
		The decline of a rare forest bird in New Zealand, the kokako, is attributed at least in part to food competition since introduced herbivores, especially opossums, feed on the same parts of the same plants eaten by the kokako, for example the fruit.
