The Tui, the cheeky guardian of our forests
The Tui is the star of these remarkable jugs. In its relentless pursuit of nectar, it often finds itself in playful battles with other birds. Once the undisputed ruler of the forest, the resurgence of larger species like the Kaka has made the tui more cautious these days. Much like the tui itself, the song of this charming bird is a masterpiece of complexity. It changes dramatically and fills our forests with a symphony of sounds that captivate the heart and soul.
