Squeezed in some time for one more Avian August illustration! Here's 'Akohekohe, and I sure do need to get myself to Maui some day to see one!

Day 19 of Avian August 2025, Birds of Hawaii, hosted by @cookiedoves: ʻAkohekohe or Crested Honeycreeper (Palmeria dolei)
The critically endangered ʻAkohekohe is the largest living Hawaiian honeycreeper. It is found only in the wet montane forests of the island of Maui.
Like many Hawaiian birds, its favorite food is the nectar of the ʻŌhiʻa Lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) flowers. In return for this meal, the ʻAkohekohe helps with the pollination process. Its handsome head crest is perfectly suited for collecting pollen from one flower while feeding and transferring it to another.

Not gonna lie, the rock metal just kinda, fell into place on this one. You could say it was slightly inspired by rock metal (rest in peace, Ozzy), more specifically Black Sabbath. My first dog, a black lab, was named Sabbath, after the band.
