Tui

 The tui

Tui is medium-sized, common, and widespread birds of the forest They look black from a distance, but in good light, tui has a blue, green, and bronze color to them and white throat tufts. They are usually very beautiful, with a mix of tuneful notes interspersed with coughs, grunts, and wheezes. In-flight, their bodies slant with the head higher than the tail, and their noisy whirring flight is interspersed with short glides.


The tui also has a good habit of singing in its surroundings. But they only sing when they have landed in a tree or on the ground.
