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.
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.
