Tui

Taken earlier when the flax, or harakeke, were still in flower.

Tui, one of New Zealand's native honeyeaters, are important pollinators of native forest flowers. They are intelligent, aggressively territorial, and are said to be able to imitate the calls of nearly every other bird, as well as a vast array of other sounds.
