    Tui 20_7901.jpg
  • Three tuis perched out in Riverton, New Zealand
    Tui 03.jpg
  • Like the other two New Zealand honeyeaters, the Tui and the Bellbird, they feed on a mixture of nectar, fruit, and insects.  The stitchbird is the lowest in the pecking order of the three honeyeaters and will only be permitted to feed on low-grade sources of nectar when the tui and bellbird are also present.
    Stitchbird 17_H7C9822.jpg
  • Whiteheads can be found in sociable flocks,  foraging the forest canopy for insects that are often dislodged by other feeding birds.  <br />
They can be found feeding around other birds such as tui, saddleback, kakariki, and silvereyes.<br />
<br />
This whitehead takes a brief rest on a manuka shrub on Tiritiri Matangi, New Zealand.
    Whitehead 03_H7C9994.jpg
  • Kakariki began eating flax on TIritiri Matangi in the late 1990s, reducing flax-flower stems down to only two by 2000!  When kakriki numbers declined significantly in the winter of 2001, flax flowering improved, much to the benefit of the three nectar-eating species: tui, bellbird, and stitchbird.
    Red-crowned Parakeet 16_0002.jpg
  • Previously categorized as a honeyeater along with the tui and bellbird, the stitchbird is now classed as the only member of its own family, the Notiomystidae. The stitchbird's nearest relative appears to be New Zealand wattlebirds, such as kokako.
    Stitchbird 07_H7C0821.jpg
  • 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.
