Canon 20D, 75-300mm Lens

Tui all fluffed up to make himself look bigger to scare away all the other birds as this was HIS tree and no one else was allowed to land there.  Beautiful specimen and colours. One of the most loved birds in New Zealand.  They have great mimicry, but their own song is beautiful too.  In the cities they are known to mimic the beeping of trucks backing, cellphone ringtones, telephones, to the extent people can't tell the difference!
