Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae)

Most of these photos of Tui were taken at home in the garden on the flax flowers. Hopefully I'll be able to take photos of them in the cherry trees next spring, - now done, see https://pbase.com/image/87044443

Hi Brooks, They're certainly honey eaters with that nectar seeking tongue that I managed to catch in some of the photos. For their song, try

I read that they're similar in sound and behavior to the long-lost 'o'o (honeyeaters) of Hawaii.

Wow, that's a wonderful bird.
