tui are bloody hard to get good photos of, despite the fact that they're everywhere. they can be hard to approach, and you need optimal lighting for them not to look completely black in the photographs
I live in suburban Auckland and we have a Tui driving us crazy as he literally only makes the same same note 3 times in a row, no cracking sound. We figure that is why he has not found a mate as they supposedly are meant to have a playlist of 300 songs! Perhaps also he is a young bird.
I remember reading that tui songs are sometimes simplified so they can be heard by prospective mates over and above the background noise in suburban areas . Perhaps this is why your tui only sings the same 3 notes . I have recently heard several tuis in Dunedin repeating just 3 notes too . It certainly can get a bit repetitive !
You have no idea the relief I feel to find others experiencing the same thing. I live in Swanson and the tuis here have been stuck on the same one stabbing note for the last few years. When you work from home like I do it becomes very monotonous. They don't even sound like a bird any more, it's a scraping, metallic "clank clank clank clank" all day long
I lived in NZ for a year and that’s probably one of the thing I miss the most. Birds and Tui was phenomenal, nature is so beautiful and just a simple thing like this feels so amazing ❤
Every time I return to New Zealand and hear the beautiful tui sound as you walk towards the immigration, I get so happy and emotional, nothing more welcoming home then this gorgeous sound.
Love these sounds. Morning birds songs. Music to my ears 😍😍 like nowhere else in the world. You know you're home in Nz when you wake up to these beautiful birds. Take them not for granted 🖤❤ thank you for this video
Oh the tui's singing is absolutely beautiful in the early morning. It was so refreshing to hear birds when we arrived in NZ after such a long time of not hearing them. ❤
I've gotten very clear close to them when I'm back in NZ.We had a coconut shell filled with honey in Invercargill and every morning like clockwork the Tui would arrive and chortle away before I headed off to school.They are certainly great mimics.I recall a few years back hearing one maybe several in Te Anau imitating a common telecom ringtone at the time.
Reminds me of my family back in NZ. Been living in the states 22 yrs since I was five but nothing in the world feels like waking up at my aunt and uncle’s home to the sounds of tui song first thing in the morning. It’s like nothing else in the world.
Yes they can indeed , the tui is a very clever mimic and I suspect that they actually copy the bellbird sounds and include them in their own repertoire .
These rascals would make a racket outside my parents place in the Pohutukawa trees! Now I'm living in London I really miss them! Mum and Dad tell me the tui family has grown considerably !
There's been one on our property for the past month. He just does the same repetitive sound from about 4am each morning til after 10pm. ALL DAY! He very rarely leaves the vicinity of our house and the note, although not particularly loud, is shrill, to say the least! Over the past 6 years we've had pairs of tui in our trees that make all the expected calls...I wonder if this fellow has lost his mate and is calling for her. Our home borders a DOC reserve on the Hakarimata hills and sadly, people have abandoned their cats up here. We trap them and dispatch them humanely, however there are too many for us to make much of a difference to the population. DOC are.....how shall we say....less than helpful.
At certain times of year we have tuis singing the same repetitive song , sometimes more than one singing the same sound , but later they seem to revert to the variations again ... I'm not sure what the reason is .
@@TonyPalmer no Tui’s around my home unfortunately, so when I do see one or hear one it’s a treat for me. They are strikingly beautiful birds. My home is full of Tui memorabilia!
They are beautiful , I remember when there were none in my area , I recall seeing my first one some years ago . Now we have many of them especially in winter so maybe with the rate at which they are increasing you may be lucky enough to see them outside your window one day ... Thats assuming you are in New Zealand of course :)
@@TonyPalmer Tui’s are very rare here where I am in North Canterbury. We get the odd Bell Bird, which is a treat! Native re planting efforts have been underway around the area, so hopefully someday sooner rather than later I may see them and hear them around our home. :) .. my sister who lives in Macandrew Bay Dunedin has trees full of them. She sends me videos of them to brighten my day :)
Such a gorgeous bird and incredible sound. They are extremely agile too - for a large bird - often eating upside down, hanging by a thread on a branch.
It looks like it's trying to make loads of noise, but it's voice mechanism isn't quite working so it just makes these weird squawks every now and again
Unmistakable sound isn't it . As you say they are not rare now but I remember not so many years ago when they were rare here but now they are quite plentiful. Thanks for watching!
When I lived in the US I would tune into the shortwave RNZ Pacific just to hear the Tui. I haven't heard it recently on RNZ National. Where I'm living at the moment in Hastings we have one lone bird which wakes early in the morning that I can hear in the distance.🇳🇿🐦🐧🐥🐓
Yes I don't think I've heard the RNZ tui call lately either . Nice that there's at least one in your area , and where there's one there's bound to be more nearby 😊
I was in NZ in 1967 and while on a hunting trip, my guide pointed-out, what he called a blue pigeon, nearby in a small tree. He told me to go pet it. At first, I thought he was pulling my leg, but he was right, the bird allowed me to stroke its chest. He told me the early settlers harvested them in great numbers. This occurred SW of Dunedin.

Hi Tony this is Max! I can’t believe I ended up sharing your video to my grandma who is in Argentina! We were on the phone and she listened to some Tuis in the back, after we hanged up I sent her the link. And soon after I realized it was yours. Hope you and your family are doing well. All the best, and thanks for the beautiful shot! Stay safe!
Lovely video! I wish Tui inhabited the Canterbury Plains were I live, but sadly they don't. However, they are doing well on Banks Peninsula near-ish to were I live.
Hi remyposees , yes it is an unusual bird , and very beautiful . Fortunately their numbers seem to be increasing too . Ten years ago they were seldom seen around here , now they are regular visitors . Thanks for watching .
today i found a tui he was hit by a truck i think i was less than 5 minutes after the fact and the poor brother was on the road so bundled him up he died before i got to the bird lady so we gave him a burial amongst the trees instead of a bloody road side i dont know if you have ever had the chance to touch a tui but ill tell ya their feathers are soooo soft and warm you could compare them to Kashmir .
Wow, what an amazing bird song! I visited NZ's North Island in August 2013 and heard a bird that had the most unusual call. I wish I had recorded it because now I can't even replicate it. I was searching the internet to find the name of the bird or at least to hear its call again when I returned home, but have had no luck. I'll have to search here on youtube; might get lucky! Thank you for sharing your video!
Neither one of those I'm afraid. I've gone to several different sites where you can listen to the bird songs, but have yet to hear it. I never saw this bird, only heard it at Whakarewarewa in Rotorua and while waiting for the shuttle for one of the caves in that area. I'll be ecstatic the day I can hear it again. : )
I WORSHIP YOU MY BELOVED FATHER FOR YOU HAVE CREATED SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE FOR US TO LIVE…. AND WE ARE SOOOO BLIND!!!! BLESSED BE THE THE LORD OUR FATHER IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR!!!!
Despite the fact I’m from the UK I’ve always wanted to visit New Zealand. It really is an ornithologists paradise and it’s nice as they have so many beautiful birds but you don’t need to go in stifling rainforest or hot Australian desert to find them
there are lovely birds but go to the north. in the south its a bit desolate outside the parks. the local colonists did what we did in uk, chop down 99% of the forests for grazing land and timber. slowly getting better i heard. that said i see tui a lot, fantails, then mostly foreign blackbirds finches and sparrows. i saw a weka and black robin once. ill say the native birds and the blackbird like at home in uk are very friendly and arent scared of humans.
I lived in very Rural Manawatu, the Tui used to Bark like Dogs, and make spitting noises like a Cat. I actually taught one a 3 note song, they pick sounds up so quickly .
Tony I love your close up bird shots (I know this was a few years ago but its still a great video!). We don't get as many different kinds here so I enjoy it! Also, something that may interest you, Canadian Sparrow's are starting to see in distinctly new song, song on the west coast and within a few years its spread to the east coast. If this interests you there is some news articles about it in the Canadian papers.
@@TonyPalmer The scientists are saying this is the fastest they have seen the birds change there tune... so lots of interest from scientists on this topic right now. I was surprised, didn't know they could/would change their song!
Yes our tuis are a bit different to many birds in that they have a repertoire of many different sounds which often varies from bird to bird and district to district and although they can sometimes be very repetitive they often seem to come up with quite different favourite songs from year to year .
Thumbs up from whoever came here from TikTok trying figure out what they meant by “New Zealand: When you’re sleeping and you wake up to this at 6am:” video. 🤣
Brings back (few) good memories of Aotearoa. Remember Kiwis are birds, neither Maoris nor Pakehas. Unfortunately the country has been too Americanized already and the "New Zealanders" have not taken care enough of their partly outstanding nature, e.g. more than 90 % of the original forests are gone. I cry with you 'TANE Mahuta': strengthen the good ones. Kia kaha all with good will and "GNOTHI SEAUTON"!
90% of the forests were gone before the 1930s, and 95% of Maori by 1985. when most of the Maori culture is decimated thru Lovely christian and crown rule purporting to be the righteous owner of all, imposing their law and stealing the land, It is difficult for most Iwi still wanting to take care of Papatuanuku. Even now, tho the crown granted guardianship of the land (Treaty etc), a Rahui is placed, but ignored by most and not backed up by govt agencies. Im sorry if you didnt have a good time in NZ. The Americanness of everything everywhere is from Govt, not the majority of the population. But also, yes, Kia kaha e hoa
"Remember Kiwis are birds, neither Maoris nor Pakehas." I always assumed they were tiny people in bird costumes. "too Americanized already " What did America do wrong now? Dont worry though, China is soon to annex it. " "New Zealanders" have not taken care enough of their partly outstanding nature" Why is New Zealanders in quotations?, Its true those, NZ has been fucked up by people ever since they first arrived. Maori colonizers wiped out a ton of indigenous species, Europeans bought invasive species, And now the government sells everything off to be paved over.

Hi Tony, awesome footage! Would it be alright for me to use some clips for a video about volunteers doing conservation work? It promotes the protection of New Zealand's native birds through anti-pest programs and I would love to include some of your wonderful footage.
nice video i love Tui's more than any bird such a strange bird they are, they have no known relatives to any foreign bird outside of New Zealand which stumps scientists because they have no idea how they came to be. Tui's can impersonate humans clearer than any other bird. it's very rare to see a female Tui i have personally only ever seen one they do not have the famous Tui crest and are fully, black also relatively quiet in comparison to the male
Thanks trexeater101 . Glad you enjoyed the video . I have had a male and female breeding pair of tuis visiting my garden regularly over the last few weeks . The female does have a white crest but it is somewhat smaller than that of the male and the overall plumage appears to be slightly duller .
oh wow do you video you could get a video of the female?, the only one i saw had no crest whatsoever so maybe it had a deformation or was still very young
Hi Tony - beautiful footage, is it Ok for us to use some clips in a promo video for our backyard predator control program we are setting up in Sumner Christchurch?
The white patches of feathers on his neck looks like a cute little bowtie :3
Indeed, we only have the best dressed birds down here :)
tui are bloody hard to get good photos of, despite the fact that they're everywhere. they can be hard to approach, and you need optimal lighting for them not to look completely black in the photographs
Now I know what inspired R2D2's characteristic tone.
Haha that's a good point!

Oh the tui's singing is absolutely beautiful in the early morning. It was so refreshing to hear birds when we arrived in NZ after such a long time of not hearing them. ❤
I lived near Wellington in 2015 and there was a Tui bird in the bushes outside my place that only made ringtone calls

Great filming of an amazing singer. Please post year to year more of this guy. So many of their weirder and bizarre sounds!
Awesome bird video, I like how you captured the Tui actualy landing on the branch. Good work!
Thanks Lloyd , it took years to train the bird to do that on cue !!!
Wood pigeon like dafuq

Lol random kereru
Great clip of the wax eye as well..

Hi Ricky . You are very welcome to use the footage for your Masters Degree.
Thanks a Million!
I lived in very Rural Manawatu, the Tui used to Bark like Dogs, and make spitting noises like a Cat. I actually taught one a 3 note song, they pick sounds up so quickly .
Well done . I know that they are very good at mimicking sounds but I haven't tried teaching them any yet !
Yellow breasted chat and New Zealand Tui are my favourite❤
I wondered why my tree was screaming.
Tony I love your close up bird shots (I know this was a few years ago but its still a great video!). We don't get as many different kinds here so I enjoy it! Also, something that may interest you, Canadian Sparrow's are starting to see in distinctly new song, song on the west coast and within a few years its spread to the east coast. If this interests you there is some news articles about it in the Canadian papers.
Thank you . Yes thats fascinating , I guess the birds have changing music trends too ! :)
@@TonyPalmer The scientists are saying this is the fastest they have seen the birds change there tune... so lots of interest from scientists on this topic right now. I was surprised, didn't know they could/would change their song!
Yes our tuis are a bit different to many birds in that they have a repertoire of many different sounds which often varies from bird to bird and district to district and although they can sometimes be very repetitive they often seem to come up with quite different favourite songs from year to year .
I love this bird❤️

Brings back (few) good memories of Aotearoa. Remember Kiwis are birds, neither Maoris nor Pakehas.
Unfortunately the country has been too Americanized already and the "New Zealanders" have not taken care enough of their partly outstanding nature, e.g. more than 90 % of the original forests are gone. I cry with you 'TANE Mahuta': strengthen the good ones. Kia kaha all with good will and "GNOTHI SEAUTON"!
seems like you are on a higher level, how will i know when i get there ?or if i get there?
90% of the forests were gone before the 1930s, and 95% of Maori by 1985. when most of the Maori culture is decimated thru Lovely christian and crown rule purporting to be the righteous owner of all, imposing their law and stealing the land, It is difficult for most Iwi still wanting to take care of Papatuanuku. Even now, tho the crown granted guardianship of the land (Treaty etc), a Rahui is placed, but ignored by most and not backed up by govt agencies.
Im sorry if you didnt have a good time in NZ. The Americanness of everything everywhere is from Govt, not the majority of the population. But also, yes, Kia kaha e hoa

I always assumed they were tiny people in bird costumes.
"too Americanized already "
What did America do wrong now?
Dont worry though, China is soon to annex it.
" "New Zealanders" have not taken care enough of their partly outstanding nature"
Why is New Zealanders in quotations?, Its true those, NZ has been fucked up by people ever since they first arrived.
Maori colonizers wiped out a ton of indigenous species, Europeans bought invasive species, And now the government sells everything off to be paved over.
Too much US tv but not Americanised thats way wrong
Nice video Tony , I do a lot of stills photography but might try some video , what gear did you use ?
Thanks Noel , glad you enjoyed , this video was all filmed with a Canon SX40 HS and using only the on board microphone. I now use a Canon SX60 HS.
Is this 100 gecs?
You ever did this it's amazing chicks
amazing so cool!!!!
Thank you very much yang sun , I'm glad you enjoyed!!
Your welcome
Lucky you don't live next door to the young teenager starting his rx3 and thumping music looking for a mate
Your the best
i just saw your video again Tony it is a beautiful one , am i right some time we see the throat of the bird moving and we do not ear any songs
Indeed , many of the sounds they make are inaudible to the human ear , but no doubt can be heard by other tuis !
Leaving in the Pyrenees i make videos about the wild life and the traditions of this corner of earth here is one for you the mouflons play in the moutain while the hunter sleep czcams.com/video/HglS3jS3lSc/video.html
Thank you so much.
What is the red bush he is eating from? looks like an Aussie native?
Hi Louise , it is a Southern Rata tree (Metrosideros umbellātā) , a New Zealand native that is related to the Pohutakawa .
FKJ Tui got me here
I wonder if these birds recordings could be used for evidence in a court of law? Like if the bird said: "Kill him, Sam!"
Hi Tony, awesome footage! Would it be alright for me to use some clips for a video about volunteers doing conservation work? It promotes the protection of New Zealand's native birds through anti-pest programs and I would love to include some of your wonderful footage.
Hi Amelia , yes of course you are welcome to use my video in your project . I'm glad you enjoyed it !
Thank you so much :)
Soo cuute
voie de disparition excellent planete
One of my fav vids of youtube! so jealous :P
Thanks very much :)
Birds make sounds well ahead of our time
Most is tui mimicking other birds
Thank you so much.
Dubstep?
nice video i love Tui's more than any bird such a strange bird they are, they have no known relatives to any foreign bird outside of New Zealand which stumps scientists because they have no idea how they came to be.
Tui's can impersonate humans clearer than any other bird.
it's very rare to see a female Tui i have personally only ever seen one they do not have the famous Tui crest and are fully, black also relatively quiet in comparison to the male
Thanks trexeater101 . Glad you enjoyed the video . I have had a male and female breeding pair of tuis visiting my garden regularly over the last few weeks . The female does have a white crest but it is somewhat smaller than that of the male and the overall plumage appears to be slightly duller .
oh wow do you video you could get a video of the female?, the only one i saw had no crest whatsoever so maybe it had a deformation or was still very young
trexeater101 Probably a young one . Will try and get a video but she doesn't come around as often as the male .
NZ Represent. Tui is a cool as bird
Lo blanco parecen sus manos y parece que está aplaudiendo, quiero que me lo nieguen
that's a swiss army knife bird right there
Hi Tony - beautiful footage, is it Ok for us to use some clips in a promo video for our backyard predator control program we are setting up in Sumner Christchurch?
Hi there , yes of course you are very welcome to use my video in your promo . Glad you enjoyed it :)
