	Tui (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The Tui (Prosthemadera novaeseelandiae) is a passerine bird of New Zealand, one of the largest members of the diverse honeyeater family.
		On closer inspection, it can be seen that Tui have faded browner patches on the back and flanks, a multicoloured iridescent sheen which varies with the angle that the light strikes them from, and a dusting of small, white-shafted feathers on the back of the neck that produce a lacy collar.
		Tui are found though much of New Zealand, particularly the North Island, the west and south coasts of the South Island, Stewart Island and the Chatham Islands.
