Back to New Zealand Native Birds
Tui and Kowhai Needlepoint Kit
The Tui is a New Zealand native bird active and noisy in flight, diving with closed wings and eating on insects, fruit and nectar from native plants. It makes a high pitched call and a clacking sound
when it is alarmed, but its song is beautiful and varied like the Bell bird.
