The Kiwi is a type of bell bird. Its a songster, and these birds are quite aggressive. They are common in Auckland, and often they will band together to protect their young.
They are hard to photograph, like to be heard not so much seen, and they move quickly.
They love nectar from flowers.
Thanks so much StBrians.
Thanks Albert, I see Tuis quite often, but they are also protected.
To my knowledge, indeed this bird is very rare and protected.
Quite informative indeed
What interesting information! Love the photo a lot!
Thanks Jenna this was taken on Tiritiri Matangi Island. There are plenty of Tuis there
It’s cute, the bird looks so fluffy
Yes it does, birds sometimes puff up their feathers.
What an interesting bird!
Thanks so much Ellie
