A bottlebrush tree in the garden is on the tui’s menu at the moment.
And when another tui wants to have some, feathers are ruffled.

Lovely shots. I never seem to be able to get a decent photo of the tuis in our trees.

Thank you Su. A long zoom certainly helps.

Lovely! We’ve had a couple of Tui fledglings round our garden in recent weeks…one decided to have its first bath the other day…very funny! It stood by the water, had a drink and then started ruffling its feathers before flying off…dry…thankfully it came back later and managed to get it right! 😄

They’re super cute aren’t they. I found a fledgling shadowing its parent bird and whining for food the other day. It must drive the parents mad.
