Tui’s are a native bird to New Zealand. They like to nest in fruiting trees. Tui’s are small and have a little white ball at the bottom of their chin. They have blue and brown wings and are nearly black. They like to eat nectar,fruits and other food.
Tui’s like to nest in fruiting trees. Tui’s are most likely to be found in the North,South and Stewart islands. They’ve also been found in the Southern Alps,Kermadec and the Auckland islands. There is also a tree called a Parapara trees. They can be found in the three kings,Hen island and Chicken island. Parapara trees are also known as the deadly bird catching tree.
Tui’s have blue,brown and turquoise feathers. When tui’s are born they are black, white and have a yellow beak. Tui’s make sounds like clicks,groans and wheezing.
Tui’s eat nectar fruit, insects, native kowhai, puriri, kahikatea, New Zealand, Kaka beak, rewa rewa, rata, pohutukawa, strawberry trees, banksia, flowering cherries and bottle brushes.
Tui’s predators are Possums, Feral cat, Stoats, Ferrets and people destroying their habitat. These predators eat Tui’s and their eggs. If we keep on chopping down trees we could wipe out all of New Zealand's native birds.
So in conclusion we should take more care of our native birds and their habitat.If we lose this species we might not have native birds forever. I think the government should spend more money to take care of our native birds habitats.
