The ʻIʻiwi is a striking bird native to the Hawaiian Islands, known for its bright red plumage and long, curved bill. This species, scientifically named Vestiaria coccinea, primarily feeds on nectar from native Hawaiian flowers, playing a crucial role in pollination. The ʻIʻiwi is often found in forested areas, where it thrives among the diverse flora of the islands. As a member of the Hawaiian honeycreeper family, the ʻIʻiwi has adapted to its environment over time. Unfortunately, its population has declined due to habitat loss and the introduction of non-native species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this iconic bird and its habitat.
