Scissor-billed koa finch : ウィキペディア英語版 | Scissor-billed koa finch
The scissor-billed koa finch, (''Rhodacanthis forfex'') or scissor finch is an extinct species of Hawaiian honeycreeper. Of the four species in the genus ''Rhodacanthis'', the scissor-billed koa finch and the primitive koa finch became extinct before the arrival of the first Europeans to Hawaii in 1778. It was endemic to the islands of Maui and Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. == Diet ==
The scissor-billed koa finch was a granivore, that, like the other members of its genus, had a bill adapted to eat the hard seeds and pods of legumes. Pollen and fossil evidence indicates that ''Ka palupalu o Kanaloa'' (''Kanaloa kahoolawensis'') and ''koaia'' (''Acacia koaia'') were probably important food sources, and it may have eaten caterpillars and ''aalii'' (''Dodonaea viscosa'') berries.
