The Nihoa Millerbird is a small songbird about 15 centimeters long. It lives only on the tiny Nihoa Island in the Pacific Ocean and belongs to the Acrocephalidae family.
The Nihoa Millerbird differs from other warblers by its very small range—just one island. It is important for nature as an endemic species and helps control insect populations in the island ecosystem.
