At wood work I had fun I thought it was going to be hard but it wasn't because Mr Thomas helped me.  I am glad that Mr Thomas helped me.

Tui Report


Tui Report

A tui is a bird that has black feathers and it has a white tuft under its chin.

The tui is the first bird to sing early in the morning.  The tui croaks, coughs, bell like notes and it squeaks.  That’s when they are calling.

The tui eats berries, fruit, insects, and nectar.  The tui feeds the young tiny tui insect and nectar in the first few days. The older chicks are fed berries, moths, spiders and larger insects, especially sticky insects.

In spring the tui travels outside its normal territory to feed.  They also travel in the forests and scrubs and some time they travel to other places.  Where there is more supply of nectar.  They also go to open counties and gardens.  All of the tuis are found in New Zealand and offshore islands.

The parents move to the islands in November or December to make their nest.  They lay their eggs some lay two to four.
