The tui's beak is perfectly shaped to fit into the harakeke (or NZ flax) flower from which it feeds on nectar.
Taken a few weeks ago when the harakeke was still flowering and nectar for the birds was plentiful.
đã có lúc mõi mệt vì người yêu tôi luôn dối gian
đã có lúc nhủ lòng đừng nên nhớ
đã từng đốt cháy hết
đã từng quên em đi mà trái tim luôn mong chờ
để giờ vẫn yêu mà chẵng nói ra
Tui are endemic to New Zealand and they're in the honeyeater family. I saw Tui birds 6 times or so and I thought they were black birds. With a flash I could finally see the Tui's colors and iridescence.
A New Zealand icon, the tui is loved for its singing voice and unique plumage. At first glance the bird appears completely black except for a small tuft of white feathers at its neck and a small white wing patch, causing it to resemble a parson in clerical attire. On closer inspection it can be seen that tui have brown feathers on the back and flanks, a multicoloured iridescent sheen that varies with the angle from which the light strikes them, and a dusting of small, white-shafted feathers on the back and sides of the neck that produce a lacy collar. The name tui is from the Māori name tūī and is the species formal common name. It is only found in New Zealand.
This bird came to feed on the nectar of the New Zealand flax outside the Apartment we were staying in Franz Josef, South Island.

Tui are boisterous, medium-sized, common and widespread bird of forest and suburbia – unless you live in Canterbury. They look black from a distance, but in good light tui have a blue, green and bronze iridescent sheen, and distinctive white throat tufts (poi). They are usually very vocal, with a complicated mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts and wheezes. In flight, their bodies slant with the head higher than the tail, and their noisy whirring flight is interspersed with short glides.
Sorry for all the Tui pictures, it has been a very long time since I was able to get close enough to get some decent shots.
New Zealand has a number of unique birds. While some are more rare, and more difficult to see, there can't be many that are more attractive than the Tui when seen close-up.
Vlaardingen/Broekpolder - 9 juni 2018
Verblijvend in de Broekpolder komen er regelmatig vliegtuigen over, die gaan landen op Rotterdam-The Hague Airport (Zestienhoven).
Ik vind het altijd weer een sport ze op de foto te zetten.
I was naturally anxious to photograph some of New Zealand’s iconic endemic birds, but since we’ve been hiking more or less all day every day it has basically boiled down to stumbling into them while I happen to have my camera out.
As it happens (and though no one seems to believe us) we did see the most iconic of all—a kiwi—on our first day walking. You can believe me or believe me not, because my camera was in my pack, but we saw it near the waste treatment plant on the outskirts of Invercargill (we’ve since heard but never seen them in the mountains). This tui—which is not at all uncommon—was from the same day, near Bluff.
White feather on its chin, and a bonkers flight pattern, I've not the patience to try to get a photo of one in flight....
It has a beer named after it...

I get the impression that my cover may have been blown!
Tui, one of New Zealand's native honeyeaters, are important pollinators of native forest flowers. The tui's beak is perfectly shaped to fit into the harakeke flower from which it feeds on nectar.

Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae), one of New Zealand's native honeyeaters, are important pollinators of native forest flowers. The tui's beak is perfectly shaped to fit into the harakeke, or NZ flax, flower from which it feeds on nectar.
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.

A photo of a Tui in a Kowhai Tree. The Tui has a white tuft of feathers on it's throat and that's why it was once called a Parson bird by new English settlers. Photo taken at Wellington, New Zealand
