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.
I was busy photographing ths pincushion protea when a Tui arived for a spot of lunch. They dont normaly like people near but this one didnt seem to mind.

Tui are found through much of New Zealand, particularly the North Island, the west and south coasts of the South Island, Stewart Island/Rakiura and the Chatham Islands—where an endangered sub-species particular to these islands exists. Other populations live on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs,[6] and in the Auckland Islands (where, with the New Zealand bellbird, it is the most southerly species of honeyeater).[7] Populations have declined considerably since European settlement, mainly as a result of widespread habitat destruction and predation by mammalian invasive species.
I love all the greens here in this moment. New Zealand is known for its rain and lushness and the tūī blends in so well.
I was in heavy foliage with low light when the tūī flew in and landed on a moss covered rock. At first to my eyes, it appeared black in colour, but then as it changed position it shimmered blue, green and bronze. And of course I saw the conspicuous white throat tuft of feathers. They are lovely honeyeaters.
I got to hear its complex call as well, a mix of musical notes and random sounds. And I've read that they have been observed mimicking human speech.
This is subspecies Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae ssp. novaeseelandiae seen on the north island.
Around 25 cm length.

In het weekend van vrijdag 22 /23/24 December 2023 , reed de eerste TUI ski Express van het seizoen 2023/2024
Op vrijdag avond waren de eerste wintersporters vertrokken naar Oostenrijk, Eindbestemmingen Bischofshofen en Bludenz
Waar deze op zaterdag ochtend aankomen , omdat dit de eerste trein vertrok deze als ledigmateriaal weer van uit Oostenrijk naar Amsterdam , zo kon ik deze fraaie trein te Hedel op 24 December 2023 vastleggen met als tractie de Train Charter TCS 101001 , Tot aan de grens had de TCS 103003 (101 133) deze trein gebracht
Tevens is goed te zien dat de weilanden het steeds moeilijker krijgen om het vele water te verwerken
Typically, where there are native Kowhai trees you will find the endemic Tui feeding on the nectar. This was taken near the Hamilton gardens.
Two Tui's in a feeding frenzy in a very wind blown spring blossom tree .... not the sharpest image but still worth sharing I think!

Taken in Golden Bay, 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.

A large male tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) fluffing himself up and singing loudly to assert his territorial dominance as his mate flies in to join him in feeding on nectar from the flowers of a waratah. Their effectiveness as pollinators is clearly evident in the form of yellow pollen - probably flax - around the base of the bills of both birds.
