About These Birds

Black Mamo

The Black Mamo was an extinct Hawaiian honeycreeper known from Molokai, with entirely black plumage and a long, sharply downcurved bill used to extract nectar from tubular flowers. It inhabited the native ohia-lehua and koa forests of Molokai and was last seen in 1907, driven to extinction by habitat destruction and introduced diseases spread by mosquitoes. It fed primarily on nectar and likely insects.

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.
