This fuchsia was flowering and the Tui was making the most of it.

A large dark honeyeater with a decurved black bill, dark brown eyes, black legs and feet, and black head, underparts, wings and tail showing iridescent blue-green on the head and wings. The upper back and flanks are brown with a bronze sheen, the nape and sides of the neck have filamentous white feathers, and there are two curled white feather tufts on the throat.

Sitting at over 30cm tall this beautiful, but boisterous common NZ bird, has an iridescent blue/green head and wings and distinctive white neck tufts which originally led it to be called the Parson Bird by the early settlers. It is one of NZ's endemic birds (only breeds here in NZ) and is one of our most popular icons.
