	Iiwi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The ‘I‘iwi (Vestiaria coccinea) or Scarlet Hawaiian Honeycreeper is a Hawaiian bird of the family Drepanididae, and the only member of the genus Vestiaria.
		One of the most plentiful species of this family, which includes many endangered or extinct species, the ‘I‘iwi is one of the most recognized animals and symbols of Hawai‘i.
		Now the ‘I‘iwi can be found at higher elevations where native forest ecosystems still exist more or less intact and temperatures are generally too cool for mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.

		Hoewel sommige 'I'iwi's nectar halen uit de bloemen van de 'ohi'a-bomen (waar ze ook nestelen: zie verderop) is de lange kromme snavel een adaptatie om nectar te kunnen zuigen uit de pijpvormige bloemen van verschillende Lobeliaden, zoals de 'ohawai.
		De I'iwi is niet erg bang en sommige Hawaiische legendes vertellen dat de vogeljagers een bos bloemen in hun hand hielden en de vogel's snavel pakten als ze kwamen om te eten.
		I'iwi's behouden: De O'ahu and Moloka'i populaties van 'I'iwi's staan op de lijst van bedreigde diersoorten van de Hawaii Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DLNR 1990) en worden onder de wet beschermd.

	'I'iwi - National Zoo\| FONZ
		The 'I'iwi is locally common in high elevation (above 1,500 m) mesic and wet forests on Hawaii, Maui, and Kaua'i.
		The prime breeding habitat of the 'I'iwi is dominated by the 'ohia-lehua and koa trees with an understory of tree ferns.
		Diet: The long decurved bill of the 'I'iwi is beautifully adapted to sip nectar from the long tubular flowers of the native Hawaiian lobelioids.

	Endangered Iiwi
		Though rare, 'I'iwi are some of the most easily seen Hawaiian birds with their scarlet plumage and red beaks in stark contrast to their fl wings.
		The red breast feathers of 'I'iwi were commonly used for the red feathered robes of Hawaiian royalty and their priests.
		The 'I'iwi was not particularly shy and some legends have it that Hawaiian bird hunters held out a bunch of flowers and grabbed the bird's beak when it came to feed.

		Dramatically colored with vibrant fl and red plumage and white underwings, the Iiwi is a member of the Honey Creeper family, found only in the upland of the Hawaiian Islands - usually between three thousand and five thousand feet.
		Calling while in flight as well as when settled, the Iiwi utters a sharp croak which is only rarely repeated to form a song.
		Iiwis can be distinguished by their musk-like scent, which is characteristic of most Honey Creepers.

	Audubon WatchList - Iiwi
		Because of 'I'iwis' propensity for seasonal movements in search of flowering trees, it is difficult to assess fully population trends for this species.
		'I'iwis breed and winter mainly in wet or moderately wet forests with 'ohi'a and koa as the dominant trees.
		Iiwis also make daily foraging flights up Mauna Kea Volcano to high-elevation mamane forests when these trees are blooming from September to November.

		Their expedition to Hawaii had yielded the bold red-and-fl Iiwi with its curved pinkish bill, the fiery-orange Akepa, the tiny chestnut-colored Elepaio, the rare Akiapolaau with its chisel-and-probe bill, and every other bird species native to the Big Island.
		"Iiwi were calling everywhere and there were incredible densities of Akepa moving like red rockets from tree to tree," Barksdale says.
		The Amakihi, Elepaio, Apapane, and Iiwi are seen regularly in these planted woodlands now, and the Akiapolaau is moving in to tap the bark of the new koa trees in search of insects.

		The iiwi is an endangered native Hawaiian bird.
		The iiwi is one of more than 50 species of honeycreepers that are believed to have evolved from a single ancestral species which colonized the Islands millions of years ago.
		When I'm up in the mountains where native plants and animals live, one of the things that alerts me to the iiwi's presence is the buzzing sounds their wings make as they flutter from tree to tree.

	Iiwi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is found on all the main islands of Hawai‘i, however since the 1800s its range has become far more restricted due to introduced species and diseases.
		They are rare or absent at lower elevations, even where native forests are in good condition.
		‘I‘iwi bill size has apparently shrunk in the past 100 years due to this change in food supply.

	Study on Use of Alien Versus Native Plants by Nectarivorous Forest Birds on Maui, Hawaii (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The avian species studied were the Apapane, Maul Creeper, Iiwi, Common Amakihi, and the alien Japanese White-eye; they were chosen for their omnipresence in the study area.
		Based on the number of individuals present at any one moment, the Apapane was the most abundant species in the study area; no obvious difference was apparent in the local population size of the other four species (cf.
		The site is frequented by several species of birds, including the native Apapane (Himatione sanguinea), Maui Creeper (Paroreomyza montana), Iiwi (Vestiaria coccinea), and Common Amakihi (Hemignathus virens); the alien Japanese White-eye (Zosterops japonicus); and more rarely the endemic Crested Honeycreeper (Pal- meria dolei) and Maul Parrotbill (Pseudonestor xantho- phrys).
