Here in Hawaii we call them Red Crested Cardinal. They are among the 25 most common birds seen here. Another introduced bird, the red-crested cardinal (Paroaria coronata) first came to Hawaii as a cage bird in the 1930s, imported from South America. These are cosmopolitan songbirds and feel right at home in urban areas, making them easy to see on golf courses, hotel grounds, and in city parks. They typically travel in pairs or small flocks, and while red-crested cardinals are easy to find throughout most of the Hawaiian Islands, they are missing from the Big Island.

I honestly thought this was photoshopped. It looks like the offspring of a mating between a mockingbird and cardinal.
Good capture of a weird looking bird.

Funny you should say that. When I first saw the bird (he's a regular hangout) I commented to my wife how it doesnt look real. Like he dipped his head in red paint.

Beautiful shot and a lovely bird!
TY! I saw him around the area for a couple of days and had to get a shot of him. He was very friendly.

He had no fear of strangers. Creature of habit. Came to the poolside every morning as people arrived with snacks. :)
