This little beauty is the ‘Anianiau (pronounced “Annie-Annie-Ooh”), smallest of the Hawaiian honeycreepers. Its common name comes from a Hawaiian word meaning “straight-beaked,” and its scientific name, parvus, comes from the Latin word for “small,” referring to this bird’s tiny size.

'Anianiau were decimated by the introduction of mosquitos to the Hawaiian Islands. Other threats include habitat loss, climate change, introduced invasive plants, and non-native predators such as rats.
