About These Birds
Arabian Serin
The Arabian Serin is a small finch endemic to southwestern Arabia, weighing about 14 grams with a wingspan near 13 cm. It inhabits montane scrub and terraced cultivation in the highlands of Yemen and Saudi Arabia, feeding on small seeds. This compact seed-eater is closely related to other African and Arabian serins in the Fringillidae family.
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.
