Rotated around, I am still the same,
Reflected about, I am still the same,
In three other birds, you’ll find me each time,
What songbird am I? Last seen a while ago.

Are you

ōʻō(OO) as in Genus Moho

Rotated around, I am still the same,

OO is a palindrome.

Reflected about, I am still the same,

OO rotated gives OO again.

In three other birds, you’ll find me each time,

Rook(previously wood), Coot, Loon middle of each.

What songbird am I? Last seen a while ago.

Some of them were sold as song birds and are now extinct.

This is my message to you-ou-ou.

Referring to either the o's or for the sound they produced.

Title

They are extinct and hence being remembered.

  • $\begingroup$ Fits very nicely! For the answer, the rotation is a 180 degrees half-turn, and I'm the middle of 3 other birds. $\endgroup$
