Song

The primary song of the HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi is a rapid trill.

Diet

The HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi has a very wide diet, and has been able to find food despite habitat alteration. It has a tubular tongue, which it uses to drink nectar from flowers such as those of the Шаблон:OkinaōhiШаблон:Okinaa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha), Шаблон:Okinaākala (Rubus hawaiensis), and māmane (Sophora chrysophylla). If necessary, it will suck juice from fruits. The HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi also hunts for spiders and insects among trees and shrubs.

Breeding

HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi are a productive species with a long breeding season, lasting about 9 months. On the Big Island, Maui and Molokaʻi there is variation in when that breeding season starts but it may coincide with flowering of māmane in dry māmane forests. HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi nest in the canopy of trees. They often are able to have two broods within a breeding season; having two rounds of chicks enables their population to increase more rapidly than slow growing species like the endangered Kiwikiu. Chicks remain in the nest for 15-21 days before they fledge. Young HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi become independent from their parents at 2-3 months.

Habitat and distribution

It is found on the Big Island, Maui, and [[Molokai|MolokaШаблон:Okinai]] in Hawaii. It formerly occurred on [[Lanai|LānaШаблон:Okinai]] where it was last seen in 1976. It is one of the most common honeycreepers, inhabiting all types of habitat, dry māmane forests to mesic and wet forests, on the islands at elevations from sea level to Шаблон:Convert. On Maui they have also been successful in forests of introduced pines, cypresses and firs. Of all the forest birds native to Hawaii, the HawaiШаблон:Okinai Шаблон:Okinaamakihi 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 Шаблон:OkinaApapane, it is one of the two Hawaiian honeycreepers listed by the IUCN as being of least concern.
