There are many differences between the tui and the kiwi.
- Kiwi are Flightless Birds; tui are flighted birds
- Kiwi make a single "kee-wee" sound; tui are capable of a wider range of vocalisations, including mimicking human speech
- Kiwi are omnivores, feeding on insects, larvae, worms, eels, frogs, fungi, fruit and seeds; Tui are honeyeaters, primarily feeding on nectar, although they also eat fruit and insects

∙ 12y agoThe main difference between a kiwi and other birds is that the kiwi has its nostrils at the very tip of its beak, instead of being closer to where the bill joins its head. It has an excellent sense of smell, which is also unusual among birds, and its ability to smell different scents helps it when hunting for food.
There are some other differences which kiwi share with other birds. For example, the kiwi is nocturnal, and usually only owls and nightjars are nocturnal. The kiwi has shaggy feathers, but the emu also has shaggy feathers.
Kiwi are also flightless birds which dig burrows for nesting. This is not a common characteristic of birds.

What does the tui look like?
A Tui is a kind of bird. Its plural is simply Tui. A Tui is almost completely black except under its neck. A small tuft of white feathers are placed under the Tui's neck. Tui are considered intelligent, just like the parrot. They also resemble parrots because of their ability to clearly imitate humans. Watching a Tui sing, one can observe gaps in the sound when the beak is agape and throat tufts throbbing. Tui will also sing at night, especially around the full moon period. Nectar is the normal diet but fruit and insects are frequently eaten, and pollen and seeds more occasionally. Particularly popular is the New Zealand flax, whose nectar sometimes ferments, resulting in the Tui flying in a fashion that suggests that they might be drunk
