MY AMAZING TUI WRITING

TUI

• rewarewa, flax, rata, pohutukawa, gums and banksias.

BEHAVIOUR- 

• They can be aggressive and will defend a
• flower or fruiting tree or a small part
• of a large tree.
• They chase other birds away from their feeding area.

POPULATION- 

• Their population is bigger in some parts
• of New Zealand and smaller
• in the other parts.

IDENTIFICATION-

•  The plumage of the Tui can look black from certain
• angles and in dull light but in the sunshine the feathers
• positively sparkle with green,
• purple and bronze iridescent sheens.

Where do they live?

•  The tui is native to New Zealand which means
• that they don’t live anywhere else.
