It's crazy to think that there are so many birbs out there in the world... thank you for supporting conservation and this little birb business!

separately from the Thorn-tailed Rayadito, which are listed as least concern. Anyway, their spikey tails are fun!

This round bodied Subantarctic Rayadito is now in the Etsy shop!Link in bio. A percentage of its purchase will be donated to belizebirdrescue.com.

from the Thorn-tailed Rayadito that they were previously classified as. These guys are far enough from the mainland that they no longer breed with the Thorn-taileds, which has led to them being genetically different as well. I guess they're so new that the IUCN hasn't listed them...

Yum!!

that there are also two Hawaiian Honeycreepers digital coloring books available in the Etsy shop and a percentage of their purchase will go to mauiforestbirds.org

that make them a little more difficult to spot. 

This needle felted wool 'i'iwi pin is probably going to be the only one ever so hop on over to the Etsy shop to grab it! Link in bio.  A percentage of this purchase will be donated to mauiforestbirds.org

odds are pretty good that you can spot them at Hosmer’s Grove on Haleakalā on Maui during the māmane bloom; just listen for the metallic sounding vocalizations!  While lacking the scarlet plumage of adults, juvenile ‘i’iwi have their own colorful yellow/brown/black mottled feathers...

The largest breeding colony in Oregon is on Haystack Rock (Goonies, anyone?) in Cannon Beach. 

This needle felted wool Tufted Puffin ornament is available in the Etsy shop (link in bio). A percentage of the purchase price will go to cascadesraptorcenter.org

west coast US states have them listed ranging from sensitive to endangered while Japan has them listed as a vulnerable species.  These guys are pelagic and spend most of their lives at sea on the Pacific Ocean, only coming in to land to breed. 

....

They're also able to eat fruits that are too toxic for other species to consume. Their habit of eating clay helps neutralize the toxins.  Yum...?
