Hawaiian honeycreepers (Fringillidae), of the subfamily Carduelinae, were once quite abundant in all forests throughout Hawai'i.[1] This group of birds historically consisted of at least 51 species. Less than half of Hawaii's previously extant species of honeycreeper still exist.[1] Threats to species include habitat loss, avian malaria, predation by non-native mammals, and competition from non-native birds.[2]
