Description:

Tūī (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) Photo was taken with fill-flash while it was on a flax plant (Harakeke) in our garden. Tui, 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.
