Tui
Parson Bird
Prosthamadera novaezeelandiae
Tui are great song birds and mimics, and their varied songs are heard throughout the forest, at any hour of the day, and even night. They are quite pugnacious and will defend food sources against all comers, including kaka. They take insects, fruit when available and nectar, although I don’t often see them working honey dew. They will often be seen chasing insects on the wing over beaches and along the forest edge.
