ACTIVITY 3: Find my favorite things! Hi! It’s Hulu again. I’m a Palila, a finch-billed Hawaiian honeycreeper. We only live in Hawai‘i. Would you like to know a little more about me? My favorite food: seeds from the māmane tree. This plant has beautiful yellow flowers, is in the pea and bean family, and is only found in Hawaii (endemic to Hawaii). Other foods I like: naio berries, caterpillars. Where I live: on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea on Hawai‘i Island. I like to live where the māmane tree can be found. Unfortunately, there aren’t so many of these trees left because the dryland forest got destroyed! Some places where my family used to live: not only Mauna Kea, but also on Mauna Loa and Hualālai; my family used to live in an area 10X bigger than now! Nesting materials: I used grasses, stems, roots, lichen and branch bark from the māmane tree to build my nest. And usually I raise two eggs at a time. My favorite place to visit: the Keauhou Bird Conservation Center Discovery Forest. Check out the next page to see if you can find words about me. Till next time, A hui hou! Hulu P.S.
