About 2 weeks ago I spotted a New Zealand Tui singing on the powerlines.
It certainly was having a very big say that morning.
Tuis are very smart birds.

Tuis are very smart birds.
Here you'll find all collections you've created before.
Pleased that you like the Tui Tasartcraft
I never heard about the bird before.
The Tui is a New Zealand native bird and only lives there. Thanks Pradhan
What are those little puffballs under the beak? Are those feathers or goiters or what?
Those little puffballs are how you identify the bird by looking at it. I don’t know why the Tui is made this way. The puffballs are feathers.
Tuis are not crows they are of the Bellbird family. Bellbirds live in New Zealand and are great songsters.
okay, I suspected as much. thanks for clearing that up
In relation to that, I know many of our New Zealand birds have markings under their neck, the Saddleback, the Kokako and the extinct Huia did.
Reminds me a little of our crows, great capture!
Thanks so much Carol .
I will be very glad if this bird wakes me up in the morning with her concert
Its a lovely bird and very much loved in New Zealand. Our budgie Louis has to sing when we turn on the kettle. I don’t know why he does that.
Wonderful capture, he seems to be a great singer!
Thanks Ellie, Tuis generally like to be heard not seen.
