The I'Iwi'
Habitat: The I' iwi is a very rare endemic bird of Hawaii. It is found in Kauai, on the island of Maui. Also the I' iwi is rare on Oahu and extinct on Lana. The I'iwi tends to live in the forests of Hawaii. These forests are 2,000 feet above ground.
Color Patterns: The I'iwi is known for it's long curved beak and for having bright red color feathers and orange legs. When the I'iwi is juvenile, it's brown and speckled.
Calls: The I'iwi has a very high pitch chirping sound. It's very loud and squeaky.
Food: The I' iwi, with it's large beak, is built for eating bugs such as spiders, and insects. The I'iwi uses it's long beak to mainly eat the nectar from flowers. The most common blossom I'iwi's enjoy is the blossom from the `ohi`a-lehua tree. This is when the beak of the i'iwi comes in handy. The flowers from the `ohi`a-lehua tree are long and curved making it difficult for most birds to reach its sweet nectar, but not difficult for the I'iwi.
