Did you know: Unlike other geese, Hawaiian Geese don't need open water, however, they will swim if there is water near their nests.

The nene, also known as nēnē and Hawaiian goose, is a goose living in the Hawaiian Islands. As the official bird of the state of Hawaiʻi, the nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokai, and Hawaiʻi. However it is not as common due to habitat loss.
