Family:

Fringillidae

Genus:

Chlorodrepanis]]

Habitat
In Kaua'i, the Chlorodrepanis stejnegeri lives in the warm forests that are in the mountains. Their feet are well made for this sort of living since their feet have big claws to hold on, its like a goat or a human climbing with gear. The claws are built in gear for the bird! Its called evolution, where an organism gains certain features that help it thrive in their environment.

Diet
They eat a lot of bugs and to get those little crawlers, they use their specially shaped beak! It may not look weird like a cockatoo or bright like a toucan's but rest assured, their beak is special! With its curved and narrow shape, they can reach tight spots and munch up all those little bugs. It's like when you use a finger almost that searches for a penny in a wallet.
