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-headed Canary
The Black-headed Canary is a small, sexually dimorphic finch; males have a distinctive black head and bib contrasting with white cheeks and rufous upperparts, while females are brown-streaked. It inhabits arid scrublands, rocky hillsides, and dry riverbeds of southern Africa, particularly Namibia and South Africa. It feeds on small grass seeds and forages mostly on the ground or in low shrubs.
