Wandering Finch's Mission
It is thought that all Hawaiian honeycreepers descended from a flock of birds, related to the rosefinch, that wandered overseas. Whether by storm or some other migratory catalyst force, they made the journey from Eurasia, survived, and flourished here in the Hawaiian archipelago long before humans arrived. They were "wandering finches" in the truest sense.
Wandering Finch is Hawai‘i hatched and ‘ohana owned.
