Editing Māui (section)

=== Revelator of Birds ===
Some of Māui's most renowned feats included causing birds (which were invisible to mortal eyes) to become visible. In this long ago, forgotten time, the music of the birds delighted Māui. He observed them with keen interest, their varied and beautiful plumage which adorned the foliage of fragrant trees, and their melodious music, however, no one else could join him in enjoying what was apparent to his vision. For, although Māui's friends could hear their wonderful bird songs, none perceived the true source of the sounds. Māui felt compassion for his friends, for humanity, and their inability to behold with their eyes the colorful, musical creatures as they flitted from tree to tree, so, Māui caused the creatures to become visible to the naked eye.<ref name=westervelt>{{cite book|last1=Westervelt|first1=William|title=Legends of Gods and Ghosts (Hawaiian Mythology)|date=1915|publisher=George Ellis, Co.|location=Boston|isbn=0898755905|pages=vi–viii}}</ref>
