Tui

The Tui is an endemic bird that has thrived in the presence of humans. They are found in New Zealand forests, towns and on off-shore islands.

These attractive birds sing a distinctive and beautiful melody can also be recognised by their distinctive white tuft under their throat, which contrasts dramatically with the metallic blue-green sheen to their underlying black colour.
