Young Tui

Tuis are amazing birds native to New Zealand. This little guy has yellow pollen on his head from feeding on the nectar of flowers. They have beautiful, intricate songs; and can mimic perfectly sounds they hear, including other birds, and people talking, as they have two voice boxes. Taken at Botanic Gardens, Wellington.
