This is a New Zealand Tui Bird unique to New Zealand often hangs upside down in a tree that has flowers.
I am not sure what this pink flower off a tree is, but it blooms in spring. This was taken in Epsom, Auckland and off the road side.
In central Auckland there are often streets lined with trees and this street is lined with trees that have pink flowers.
Nice picture. The Tui bird is a bit like the Bats in hanging upside down. New Zealand should be a great country to spot such rare species.
Thanks the Tui is not under threat because it has an aggressive streak. We have Bats in New Zealand too, but few here have ever seen a Bat in New Zealand.
The Tui Bird is unique to New Zealand
Super picture. The bird is really something special
Such a cool looking photo.
Totally cool picture! It is indeed a unique bird, both its form and style.
Thanks so much Albert, glad you like the Tui.
You are very much welcome, Pamela.
Beautiful! What a great photo.
Such a cool bird Pam, one day I will visit to see all of the beauty in your country.
I learned something today! What a great picture of the Tui bird, it must be very strong to hold its body weight while eating upside down!
It is a very strong bird with a strong will. I love the Tuis
It is a really cool picture. You have the ey for capturing awesome bird pictures!
Wonderful picture and interesting bird … I thought you turned the picture
Thanks the Tui often turns upside down to get nectar from the flowers
This is really a very interesting bird … it’s interesting to see how it is kept
I really wonder how many amazing and beautiful things the nature has to offer us.
Thanks Amitkokiladiya, glad you like this
The tui bird is an amazing bird with the girth and the food that they like to eat.
Thanks Deepizzaguy. The Tui is amazing
The tui bird is one of a kind.
i noticed it may have a long beak
Yes it has a long enough beak to get nectar
Thanks so much Mavic
not a problem we are friends here in Virily and we should help each other to earn at little.
how does he get like that? how does he get back up?
The Tui Bird moves very fast and decisively he hardly keeps still, unless he is making a point with his song. He has no trouble getting into any position, so fast he does not even notice when he is up side down
thanks Alex for your kind comments
okay, that is pretty impressive
