Life Expectancy

Feeding Habits
Hawaii Amakihi, a nectarivorous bird, feeds on insects, nectar, flowers, and fruit. It uniquely consumes sap from naio tree fluxes and pollen from banana poka, showcasing its diverse diet and specialized feeding adaptations.
Habitat
Hawaii Amakihi primarily inhabits a variety of native Hawaiian forest types, ranging from dry shrublands to mesic, wet forests, and subalpine communities in montane regions. Typically found in areas dominated by 'öhi'a trees and, less commonly, below 500 meters elevation. Hawaii Amakihi occupies habitats where native vegetation intermingles with alien conifers, particularly where these are present at forest edges and in gulches. They also thrive in subalpine mämane-naio forests and mixed native forests, extending to nonnative habitats where these forests blend with introduced species.
Dite type
Nectivorous
General Info
Distribution Area
It is found on the Big Island, Maui, and Molokaʻi in Hawaii. It formerly occurred on Lānaʻi where it was last seen in 1976. It is one of the most common honeycreepers, inhabiting all types of habitat, dry mämane forests to mesic and wet forests, on the islands at elevations from sea level to 8,000 feet (2,400 m). On Maui they have also been successful in forests of introduced pines, cypresses and firs. Of all the forest birds native to Hawaii, the Hawaiʻi ʻamakihi has been affected the least by habitat changes. It is suspected that it is evolving resistance to diseases such as avian malaria. Along with the ʻApapane, it is one of the two Hawaiian honeycreepers listed by the IUCN as being of least concern.
