The Hawai’i ʻ����貹 is endemic to the island of Hawai’i and a member of the Hawaiian Honeycreeper family. There used to be other ʻ ākepa on Maui and O’ahu, but these subspecies are presumed extinct. The males of the species have a very vibrant orange color while the females tend to have a greyer green coloring with a band around their middles. The ʻ ākepa males and females have a lilt-y almost melancholy song. The ʻ ākepa received its cultural name due to its foraging skills which translates to “quick, nimble, and active.�� They are also considered to be spiritual guides to the Hawaiian people and their feathers were used to make several traditional types of clothing.
