A tui has a long thin beak and sharp claws. From a distance they look black, but when you come closer it's blue, green and bronze feathers glimmer. On their neck they have a tuff of white fluff.
The tui eats nectar, seeds, fruit and insects. Its favourite nectar is from the Kowhai tree.
Tui’s live in the New Zealand forest where the kowhai tree is found. There are many native bushes around New Zealand for them to live in.
Tuis are smart. They copy sounds like other birds songs, ringtones and what people say. Tuis put their chin and head up to show they are proud.
Tuis are endemic to New Zealand forest.
