About These Birds
Akiapolaau
The Akiapolaau is an endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper weighing about 27 g with a wingspan near 15 cm. Endemic to the Big Island of Hawaii, it is notable for its highly specialised bill — a short, straight lower mandible for hammering and a long, curved upper mandible for probing bark for beetle larvae.
