About These Birds

Beautiful Rosefinch

The Beautiful Rosefinch is a colorful finch of high-altitude shrublands and alpine meadows across the Himalayas and Central Asian ranges. Males are brilliant crimson-pink on the head and breast with streaked brown wings, while females are streaked brown. It feeds on seeds and buds, descending to lower altitudes during harsh winter months.

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.
