- In serious trouble
The common name of this bird is believed to come from their high-pitched zit tzit whistle. They have a curved bill and a long tongue that is used to reach deeply into flowers to brush nectar to eat. To support these birds, nectar feeders and artificial nest boxes are sometimes added to the forest.

Hihi really need our help, with only a few small populations remaining. So Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest litigation firm is proud to advocate for them like we do for our clients and communities in Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Whanganui-a-Tara. With the current populations of hihi being in the surrounds of Auckland and Wellington, they are a part of our community too.
