Kākāwahie

The kākāwahie or Molokaʻi creeper (Paroreomyza flammea) is an extinct species of Hawaiian honeycreeper.

They were discovered in the late 19th century when Scott Barchard Wilson, a British ornithologist was lost in the fog.

Apparently similar to the Maui Nui ʻalauahio, it used its blunt and short beak to peck out insects from old naio (Myoporum sandwicense) trees.

It mainly fed on the larvae of beetles and lepidoptera; however in rare cases, it sipped nectar from flowers, which included the naio.

Native Hawaiians trapped the birds for their red feathers, which were then used in the capes and leis of aliʻi (nobles and royalty).
