‘I’ iwi
‘I’ iwi belongs to the finch family Fringillidae and is also known as the scarlet honeycreeper. Although its tail and wings are black, it has vivid red feathers on its head, breast, and undersides. The 'I'iwi drinks nectar from flowers with its long, pink bill, which accounts for the majority of its diet. It does, however, devour a wide range of arthropods.
'I'iwis are only found on the Hawaiian Islands, where they are the third most common native bird. Therefore, it is famous for being a symbol of Hawai. They make cup nests in tree branches out of twigs, flower petals, and feathers. They are currently threatened by habitat loss caused by farming and horticulture. Deforestation destroys their dwellings as well as their food supplies. As a result, the 'I'iwi is classified as a vulnerable species.
