About These Birds
Black Mamo
The Black Mamo was an extinct Hawaiian honeycreeper known from Molokai, with entirely black plumage and a long, sharply downcurved bill used to extract nectar from tubular flowers. It inhabited the native ohia-lehua and koa forests of Molokai and was last seen in 1907, driven to extinction by habitat destruction and introduced diseases spread by mosquitoes. It fed primarily on nectar and likely insects.
