ʻApapane

ʻApapane (Himatione sanguinea) is a small nectarivous honeycreeper found on all the main Hawaiian Islands. Like ʻiʻiwi, ʻapapane are known for their bright, crimson feathers. Related to the now-extinct Laysan honeycreeper (Himatione fraithii), ʻapapane populations remain stable though they are susceptible to the same factors that threaten other native Hawaiian forest birds, including habitat loss and degradation, predation by introduced mammals, and disease. 

In Hawaiian culture, ʻapapane are often mentioned in moʻolelo (narrative stories) and were the kinolau (body form) for many Hawaiian deities. Lines 303 and 304 of the Kumulip (Hawaiian creation chat) mention ʻapapane:   

Hanau ka Alae ka makua.
                    Puka kana keiki ka Apapane , lele
                                        (Born was the Mudhen, the parent.
                                                            Out came its child an Apapane bird and flew.)
