The wonderful Tui

Unfortunately a beautiful Tui had a fatal mishap during the week.

Some thoughtful children thought it would be a great idea to showcase this gorgeous bird to the school. This little guy came to our room and was marvelled at by the children.

We observed his magnificent array of feathers that were in-keeping with metallic blues and greens, progressing to black The very distinctive little white tuft of feathers on his chest, and the way his claws were shaped and wrapped around the sticks.
