A cold and wet New Zealand winter week so grateful to a friend for a visit. The Tūī is a medium-sized honeyeater endemic to New Zealand.
this image is part of my weekly Vlog about keeping it closer during the Covid19 resurgence here in NZ
The branch is kānuka, white tea-tree or burgan, is endemic to New Zealand as is the tui bird. Seen here living wild in the Orokonui ecosanctuary.
Hope you learned a little Maori language this Sunday :)

Another Tui feasting on one of many flowering delights in the Esplanade gardens. From the amount of pollen on his beak I'd say he was finding plenty!

In the heart of Wellington's Brooklyn this beautiful kowhai tree attracted many tui. So cool watch them. This darling was showing off her amazing iridescent plumage between drinks.
Step 2 of the dance, chase and peck routine!
I've taken creative licence and brightened their plumage a little beyond what my eye could see. I'm sure they won't mind!!
This beautiful New Zealand native bird is the Tui which is belongs to the honeyeater family of birds. It has the most wonderful birdsong, I could have sat for hours listening to them. They are very common and are usually seen enjoying the Native Kowhai blossom.
I recently visited Bushy Park Sanctuary just outside Wanganui. Bushy Park is a predator free Bird Sanctuary which is home to large numbers of New Zealand Birds. This image in one of many included in my latest YouTube Vlog which is Live on YouTube To checkout the Video click of the Link below
Tui in Spain has a famous cathedral. Catholic religion and river Minho did not help to prevent wars between Portugal and Spain. Europe as a concept of peace should maintain a peaceful development , where you can cross national borders without nationalistic restictions.
The tui is an endemic bird of New Zealand. A member of the honeyeater family. The name tui is from the Māori name tūī and is the species' formal common name.

Time for another tui image. I took this a wee while ago but wasn't sure whether to post it or not as it is not as harp as I would like. Lots of branches in the way to confuse the AF on my camera. However, the Topaz AI Sharpen app has helped me out a little with this photo. I quite like the action shown so I thought I will share this image.

It´s a shame but i don´t have time to visit this, maybe next time perhaps
I so wanted to see and get a good pic of the great looking bird - - but pouring rain was all I got on both attempts to find him - - was lucky enough to see him though - - but he was as soaked as I was.
Tui - Wellington, New Zealand
The New Zealand Tui gorging on the tasty kowhai flower nectar. Both the tui and the kowhai are endemic to New Zealand. Usually when you see a tui it appears to be predominantly black with white feather tufts on it's throat. The tui typically feeds upside down and when it's back catching some light "it shows it's real colours". On it's back it has brown/bronse, turquoise, purple and blue iridescent sheen. The top of it's head appears green-ish and it has red eyes.
They are usually very vocal, with a complicated mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts and wheezes. Tui are notoriously aggressive, and will defend a flowering or fruiting tree, or a small part of a large tree, from all-comers, whether another tui or another bird species.
They vigorously chase other birds away from their feeding territory with loud whirring wings. Tui have a display flight, in which they fly upwards above the canopy, and then make a noisy, near-vertical, dive back into the canopy. Tui play a very important role in the dynamics of New Zealand forests because they are one of the most common pollinators of flowering plants, and also disperse the seeds of trees with medium-sized fruits.

Tui ,although common, play a very important role in the dynamics of New Zealand forests because they are one of the most common pollinators of flowering plants, and also disperse the seeds of trees with medium-sized fruits. This one is loaded with pollen on its beak.
