Tui (pronounced "two-ee") birds are one of our favorite things about New Zealand. They sing as I can ready for work in the morning, and they sing as I make dinner. There's tons of them around our house, which is a little unusual. They have two voice boxes, so they sing and make cool clicking sounds. Their sound is really distinct.
Here's a tui singing by our house:
They have a white ball of fluff on their neck, so they're really easy to spot. They have the funniest flying pattern too, they flap their wings a few time and then stop, so that their bodies swoop downwards. It looks like they're zig-zagging along as they fly through the air.
