Image of kereru

Description:

A bossy tui was NOT prepared to share a berry-laden white maire (Nestegis lanceolata) with a kereru. The tui sat below the kereru for some time furiously flapping his wings. He flew closer to the kereru, continuing the aggressive wing-flapping behaviour, and after several attempts to force the kereru out of the tree, the tui finally won and the kereru flew to a nearby powerline. (in photo 5 the tui is directly behind the kereru)
