A couple of boisterous Tui's Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) either argueing, flirting or discussing global politics. Who knows. Their delightful antics, energy and beautiful songs never get old.
Another one from our ecosanctuary 20 minutes drive from town. A long fence keeps out the predators these birds never had before Europeans brought them here.
It is Labour Day Monday, a holiday here.

I couldn't resist at least one more version of this captivating New Zealand honeyeater. And yes, this is another sky replacement.
The Tui is a native bird of New Zealand. Twenty years ago their numbers were on a steep decline. Introduced predators, such as Rats and Stoats were raiding their nests for the eggs and young fledgelings. Fortunately, people stressed their concerns to the New Zealand government and measures were put into place to kill these destructive rodents.
The Tui has a beautiful plumage of white feathers under its neck.
Tui the horse was full of energy and enthusiasm that morning, but I managed to keep her in line that day! Just! :-)
A tui feeding on the flower of an Australian waratah in a suburban garden in Hamilton, NZ. Prior to the European settlement of NZ, these were one of our most widespread and abundant bird species. Unfortunately, like many native bird species, they have declined in numbers as a result of habitat clearance and introduced predators and are now absent from some regions where they were once abundant. They have made a recent comeback in Hamilton as a result of effective landscape-scale predator control, enjoying a rich diversity of food resources in suburban gardens.
Tui, Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae, 30 cm. / 11.8 in. COMMON and abundant ENDEMIC. Native forest and scrub, farmland with kowhai (native tree with yellow flowers), gums and flax; gardens and parks. The tuft of white feathers at the throat is difficult to see against the cloudy sky. The yellow on the forehead is pollen.

Tui are a native bird to New Zealand, as is the kowhai tree they are sitting in. Hui is the Maori word for meeting, and I though this was so apt. Taken in Hamilton, NZ
