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!

Not always the easiest to photograph the Tui as most of the time there are flowers and branches that make it a challenge!
Even parsons can disagree at times! Seen yesterday in Dunedin's ecosanctuary where these birds fly free but rats and stoats are kept out.
Flickr seems to be hiding me from my contacts. Only 56 views yesterday from nearly 4000 people, or else my photo was a bad one?
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.
Taking a pause from feeding on kōwhai flowers. The kōwhai is one of the best known native trees in New Zealand and it’s our unofficial national flower. They are best known for their brilliant yellow flowers that appear in profusion in Spring and stand out among the forest greenery. Native birds such as the tui, bellbird, kākā and New Zealand pigeon/kererū/kūkū/kūkupa all benefit from kōwhai trees.
Photographed at the IPU New Zealand Campus.
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.

A walk in my local park this morning drew my attention to some boisterous Tui's as spring approaches. This one was quite high in a tree and in a fairly dark area - add that this is a fairly heavy crop also and once again the SEL70300G lens does quite a nice job.

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.
Worth enlarging.
