∙ 13y agoThe Tui are a medium sized bird, about 20 cm long, males weigh about 35 g and females about 10 g less. They are honey eaters, and are a special songbird, with quite a chiming quality to their song. They are known to imitate another bird species call.
They have local dialects throughout the country, and are not strongly territorial for food, and we see several on the same flowering tree at home.
They do sing to each other, male to female, and also use song to establish territory for the breeding season.
The male has a pair (?) of white feathers under the throat and by this it is known as the 'Parson Bird'.
In Maori language there are usually no plurals, so it is three tui ... .
