  • The tui has a rich, melodic song, and is also a great mimic. Unbelievably, most of the tui’s song is sung at a pitch too high for humans to hear.

  • The kokako is mostly heard and seen at dawn and in the morning.  In contrast to the energetic and bright voices of tuis and bellbirds, the kokako's mournful song is a reminder of the destruction of New Zealand birdlife and forests.  Around twenty plus kokako are carefully monitored on Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand.

  • The pohutukawa tree (Metrosideros excelsa) with its crimson flower has become an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. This iconic Kiwi Christmas tree, which often features on greeting cards and in poems and songs, has become an important symbol for New Zealanders at home and abroad. <br />
<br />
Pohutukawa and its cousin rata also hold a prominent place in Maori tradition. Legends tell of Tawhaki, a young Maori warrior, who attempted to find heaven to seek help in avenging the death of his father. He fell to earth and the crimson flowers are said to represent his blood.
