- A pair of tuis singing a duet . This behaviour seems to mark the start of the breeding season as the males try to impress the females . These two appear to be having quite a serious conversation !
Filmed with Canon SX70HS .
Edited and produced with Cyberlink Powerdirector 15 .

This is a good example of what appear to be silent vocalisations but are believed to be sections of call that transcend the sonic range of human hearing.
How cool is that?! I'm pretty sure their vocal range extends outside of human hearing - we can only hear half of it, I reckon.
Yes I think that's true !
What a delightful video. Definitely a conversation going on. The look of "How rude!" astonishment on the face of the bird that was left when the other flew off made me chuckle.
Ha ha yes indeed , it was just that expression! Thanks for watching Robin .
I love the sound of our Tuis best part of getting up early 5am to get ready for work
While mynas mimic sounds to defend their territory, tuis make mimicry as a play time
Every kiwi’s homecoming song 🥰💚
Beautiful and lovely bird thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Jeff, I'm glad you enjoyed!
This would make a really cool theme for podcast - any podcast.
I never get sick of this.
Oh my gosh that was adorable! You were clearly in the right place at the right time.well done.🤗🎶
Thanks Roz 😊
That was spectacular! Thanks again for sharing! Only 3 months till I’m back in NZ for a month!
Thanks Sal .. And thanks for watching ! Hopefully you'll get to see and hear plenty of tuis during your stay !
The look of the bird 🐦 once the other tui flew off it was the look of intrigue and where you gone was having a conversation you just left so funny made me smile thanks for sharing enjoyed watching 💗
Yes that made me smile too 😊
Those birds are so interesting... those sounds... they sound like they are kaput somehow ;) I really like how you give us insights into the wildlife of NZ! Thanks for sharing!
They certainly have a unique sound don't they . thanks for watcing !
They sing better than most people do
Yes indeed !
😂
Wow, "Tui" I have never heard about them before. Great video, Tony. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish you a nice day.
Thank you, and thanks for watching. They are quite a unique bird aren't they.
Wait, what? This is a true sound of this birds??? Amazing, and well recorded. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍
Thank you and thanks for watching. They certainly do make some strange and wonderful sounds !
The efforts it took to take this video 📹 out bravo 👏 🙌🏾 👌🏽
Hmmm I wonder what they are discussing about. It seems so deep and serious.
Politics no doubt. The standard yet natural Dogma
Really lovely!
I'm currently in the process of making a Tui video, so it's really nice to see this pop up!
Thanks Henry. I was very pleased to get this footage, I've been trying for ages to film a pair singing together and finally managed to have my camera in the right place at the right time 🙂
@@TonyPalmer I bet you were!
Turned out great. :)
If we all plant some trees and plants they like, we will see them come back in great numbers.
N.b: They dont live in paddocks.
Anything with a nectary flower like flaxes, fiejoas, pohutukawa, kowhai, bottlebrush.......take your pick and plant up your 2 dimensional paddocks .
Almost fifty years ago I planted a 2m kowhai by a section of blank two-story wall at my new house. About 15 years later I had a window into my upper-level dining area put into that wall. You could watch the Tuis' antics as they fed right outside the window. About another fifteen years later I built a large deck around two sides of the house, one side being where the tree and window were, I didn't have the heart to cut the kowhai down for the deck, and built the deck around it at one-floor height. Now, about another 15 years later, the kowhai's trunk is distorting the hole in the decking, it's about 4m higher than the roof, drops leaves, flowers and seeds all over my roof and deck, but I don't care when I get to see the tuis feeding every spring!
@@flamencoprof I like that. I'm in an urban area where I hope to have Tuis in my backyard section one day. Unfortunately only a few can be seen or heard in Spring or any other time. When they do come by I'm estatic seeing them at my neighbours house feeding away or high above on my Silk tree singing.
@@devoncsmith2696 The main thing is just to plant what they are known to like and... wait.
@@flamencoprof I agree. My Kowhai tree is leggy and hasn't beared any flowers in years yet. Im thinking about growing a prunus campanulata tree at some stage in the future. Hope better luck next time.
@@devoncsmith2696 I just searched and got "around seven years" to flower. 🙂
2 tuis sing 4 the life of me by the late great Prince Tui Teka
Awesome Tony .. Crystal video & audio.
Thank you very much 😀
Wouldn't it be cool if they're teaching each other new calls and songs? 😁
Maybe they were 😁
Incredible capture! Congratulations 👍
Thanks Robo, now that's a bird you won't find in Poland 😄!
@@TonyPalmer No way 😉
sounds like r2d2
I can't tell if that is a rap battle between two rival males or a male/female couple. The females are smaller than males. That looks like two males fighting it out, but it often turns nasty with physical attacking between males, whereas these two are quite civil.
They look like a couple of buddies discussing politics but sound like Artooditoo from Star Wars! Great capture👍
Great description ! I think they were actually two males trying to impress a nearby female with their vocal range . She was sitting in a nearby tree observing and listening 😁
RTuiDTui
I so enjoyed your videos.
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Impressive video!
Thank you 😊

😂
so cool 😊
Thanks for watching 😊
Is there a way to tell the difference between male and female tui?
They are both the same color but the female is smaller and usually has a smaller white tuft or poi.
Nice!
Thank you!
