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.
The tui is common bird in household gardens, feeding on nectar, fruit and insects. It is a little bigger than a blackbird, and has a most beautiful song.
Tūī, one of New Zealand's native honeyeaters, are important pollinators of native forest flowers. 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.
One of many tui feeding from the nectar-rich flowers on a large "Pōhuturātā" tree in our garden. The tree is a cultivar taken from a natural Pōhutukawa-northern rātā hybrid and sold as Pōhutukawa 'mistral'.

The tui's beak is perfectly shaped to fit into the harakeke, or NZ flax, flower from which it feeds on nectar. A close look shows how the flowers cunningly use the foreheads of bird pollinators for transferring pollen.
The most chilled out tui ever, this little guy just sat on the branch for ages, letting me get a bunch of close ups.

The tūī is a medium-sized, dark-plumaged New Zealand bird with a distinctive white throat tuft, often called the "Parson Bird". Known for its varied, melodious, and occasionally croaky song and its noisy, whirring flight, the tūī is an important pollinator that feeds on nectar and fruit, particularly from native flowers like flax and kowhai. It is a territorial and intelligent bird, found in native forests, parks, and well-vegetated suburbs throughout New Zealand.

It is Labour Day Monday, a holiday here.

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.
