Observation details
Engaged in a fierce tussle on the ground; I have never seen anything like it from any honeycreeper before or since. One ‘apapane was clearly dominant, the other clearly tired and worn out, hardly able to fight back. After probably 10 minutes of battle a third ‘apapane interjected and chased the aggressor away, with the “loser” ‘apapane shortly flying off into the forest.
