About These Birds
Akekee
The Akekee is a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper weighing about 11 g with a wingspan near 12 cm. Endemic to the upland forests of Kauai, it uses its uniquely twisted bill to pry open leaf buds and extract insects, and is severely threatened by avian malaria and habitat loss.
Black-chinned Siskin
The Black-chinned Siskin is a small, attractive finch of open woodland, scrub, and montane slopes in Chile and Argentina, with males showing a black chin and cap contrasting with yellow-green underparts and grey wings with yellow wingbars. It inhabits open forests, scrubby hillsides, and cultivated areas with trees. It feeds primarily on seeds from conifers, native shrubs, and weeds.
