The nene (Branta sandvicensis), also known as the nēnē or the Hawaiian goose, is a species of bird endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. The nene is exclusively found in the wild on the islands of Oahu,[3] Maui, Kauaʻi, Molokai, and Hawaiʻi. In 1957, it was designated as the official state bird of the state of Hawaiʻi.[4]

The Hawaiian name nēnē comes from its soft call.[5] The specific name sandvicensis refers to the Sandwich Islands, a former name for the Hawaiian Islands.[6]
