Tui - Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae

Endemic to New Zealand, the commonly named Tui,Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae (Passeriformes - Meliphagidae) is an important pollinator of native forest flowers. The flowers of the harakeke, or flax, are perfectly shaped to fit the tui’s beak. The yellow colouring on this tui’s forehead is a dusting of pollen from the harakeke flowers from which it has been feeding on nectar.

They are intelligent, aggressively territorial, and are said to be able to imitate the calls of nearly every other bird, as well as a vast array of other sounds.

Did you ever see that meme where it was a galaxy brain tier list for birds in increasing order of nest complexity from the simplest one to the big brain teardrop shaped nests to galaxy brain being that bird that carefully adjusts the temperature of the decaying compost heap around their eggs, and like, the universe one is just the white tern being like EGG ON BRANCH 😐

I've been looking for that post for ages and I haven't seen it in years
