Tui singing

Tui singing (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae)

and their singing is amazing! On my next-to-last day in New Zealand, I even got a snippet of video of a Tui singing, but the microphone on my cell phone isn't all that great, so rather than wait for me to post it, I recommend you listen to some more professional recordings of them. Here is a link: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=tui+sounds&qpvt=tui+sounds&view=detail&mid=7FCB1B4E630B569773747FCB1B4E630B56977374&rvsmid=D2B684AC9BBED2A7A390D2B684AC9BBED2A7A390&FORM=VDQVAP.
They were quite captivating to watch and listen to, so be forewarned: there will be more Tui shots coming up.
