ʻĀkohekohe (ah ko-heh ko-heh) are big time nectar lovers, often found feeding on native forest flowers — especially ʻōhiʻa lehua. Their unusual fancy crest collects and distributes pollen as the birds move from flower to flower in the forest, helping native plants and trees to regenerate.

ʻĀkohekohe are strong fliers and will “altitudinally migrate” up and down the slope of Haleakalā in search of blooming plants and trees.

These critically endangered forest birds now only survive at elevations between 6,000 - 7,000 feet. Avian malaria from introduced mosquitoes threatens the survival of ʻākohekohe and Hawaiʻi’s other native honeycreepers.
