Some Facts About
The Parson (Tui) Bird
Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae
Habitat: A bird of the 'honeyeater' family, the Parson Bird is firstly a forest bird but has adapted to co-habit well with humans and can be found in suburban gardens and parks.
Its flight is vigorous and often comes with aerial acrobatics, while its song is loud and melodious often mimicking other bird's calls.
Nests are constructed of twigs, fine grasses and moss which they will vigorously defend from predators, though cats, rats and stouts have decreased their numbers.
Food: Nectar, insects and fruits.
