 This cuddly Tūī soft toy makes an authentic Tūī sound when squeezed.

Unique to New Zealand the Tūī belong to the honeyeater family, feeding on nectar from flowers of native plants. They are common throughout New Zealand living anywhere from native forests to bush reserves. They imitate the songs of other birds, and can also imitate people. The birds were sometimes tamed and taught to speak. They were taught mihi (greetings) which they would recite when visitors arrived, as well as prayers and proverbs. They were often trained to sound like the loud and deep voice of a chief. A Tūī that spoke like this was called a manu rangatira – a chiefly bird. Sometimes a Tūī was named after a tribe’s famous ancestor, and kept by the chief.

Size: approx. 18 x 16 x 10 cm
