From the US Audubon Society website: "These flashy, conspicuous birds can be found foraging noisily for nectar in the canopy of high-elevation rainforest on Maui's Haleakala Volcano. Declared an Endangered Species in 1967, 'Akohekohe still faces the threats of habitat degradation by feral pigs and the introduction of avian diseases by mosquitoes. Populations of 'Akohekohes appear to be stable in several important refuges, and a captive breeding program has recently been initiated to augment populations in the future."
