New Zealand Tui , Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae . Well known for its remarkable vocal range , irridescent blue-black plumage and tuft of white throat feathers .
If you see at 00:46 the nga tui beak and throat are moving but no sound is recorded. According to Wikipedia, they can make noise above human and consumer equipment struggle to detect.
I think they learned that from R2 D2. and that's very plausible because there is another tropical bird species other bird that replicates all the ambient sounds it heres, like children crying or traffic even logging tools like chainsaws and tractors, and it sounds just like them.
It would be great to see a video of various tui taken in different parts of NZ. That one, for instance, is making a repeated sound none of the tui make around where I live. There must be a variety of tui “dialects”.
I've never noticed any repeated calls made by multiple tui, but the individual sounds that make up a call may be something that's region-specific. Tui in Wellington seem to use a distinct set of sounds even if the calls never repeat, but they use different sounds in any videos I look up of them.
wish I could find better reason, thank tony palmer I have pigeon not sure what they are but they seem to nest palm tree so sharp. how do they avoid those spike.

due to lockdown in Akl, I've noticed 2 tui's in my backyard, it's beautiful in the mornings and afternoon
They are lovely to have in your backyard aren't they 😉
Thank you for the video, much enjoyed-
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed!
We have a kowhai tree in our yard and are fortunate enough to hear this birds beautiful song every year.
We have flowering cherry trees. Every spring we have dozens of the birds show up in the early morning to feed.
Love the beautiful close up shots of this Tui. Thank you for a great video.

I wonder how old the fledglings are when they find their voices?!
Wow, where is that lake at the beginning?
That is the Purakaunui inlet in the south island of New Zealand as viewed from my garden . Thanks for watching 😊

Great idea ! I have also noticed variations in their sounds from year to year .
