The Keauhou Bird Conservation Center is located outside the town of Volcano on the Big Island. The center is operated by the Hawaii Endangered Bird Conservation Program, a part of the San Diego Zoo's Institute for Conservation Research. It includes 18 ‘alala aviary buildings, as well as two forest bird barns and a main building with offices, a veterinary clinic, and a suite of incubation and hand-rearing rooms. Two-thirds of the world’s population of ‘alala reside here, along with captive flocks of puaiohi, palila, Maui parrotbills, and visiting wild nene.
The facilities are situated on land generously leased as a donation from Kamehameha Schools. A similar facility, the Maui Bird Conservation Center, is located on Maui, near Olinda.
