   • I should do another post on the New Zealand Tui, it’s a type of Bell bird but an aggressive sort of bird. Its colours can change with light.

     • Guess what I got a photo of yesterday? A leucism crow! Not albino, not piebald, but white with a black beak and feet. Will post in a few.

5. I saw a photo of this beautiful bird before, but couldn’t find out what species is it. Thank you so much for the photo and information!

6. Kind of like the crow then. They do look similar.

   • Yes, I think so too. Or a blackbird – also an excellent songster:)
