ʻAkikiki are a critically endangered Hawaiian honeycreeper found only in the forests of Kauaʻi. Their population has declined by 95% since 1973. This severe loss is largely due to habitat loss and invasive species. ʻAkikiki are particularly affected by avian malaria, a deadly disease spread by mosquitoes.
Though their color may be a bit drab, these birds have big personalities. ʻAkikiki exhibit a "creeping" behavior as they move up and down tree trunks and limbs, foraging for insects. Their call is sweet and short. Though they rarely sing, the 'akikiki song is a high-pitched trill that is similar to songs of a few other honeycreeper species.
Fun fact: This pin can be worn upside-down as it is reminiscent of ʻakikiki's natural foraging posture!

These pins of fauna and flora are absolutely wonderful. These are beautiful and are extremely good quality. The info on there packaging is really nice as well, not only telling me about native Hawaiian wildlife but will also raise awareness for my family members who aren't as well informed about Hawaii's unique ecosystem. As a pin collector, these have become some of my favourite pins. Thank you for making them!
This pin is THE CUTEST! I love wearing it on my jeans and I love that you can wear it upside down or right side up. The name is also on the back so if you’re unfamiliar with Hawaiian birds it’s a great way to remember the name! It’s also super durable, I accidentally put it in my washer with my clothes and it wasn’t even scratched! A great purchase 10/10 recommend!
