A unique addition to any garden! This handcrafted New Zealand made wooden Tui feeder holds a 750ml wine bottle (included) that dispenses sugar syrup as the birds drink.

Tui's are usually seen singly, in pairs, or in small family groups, but will generally congregate in large numbers at suitable food sources, often in the company of silvereyes and bellbirds.

Tui's are great pollinators of some of our native flora and fauna they are the main pollinators of flax, kowhai, kaka beak and some other plants. Feeding on the nectar of these flowers and trees is becoming harder for these birds in today’s growing suburbs, so providing a Tui feeder is a great idea!

The feeder comes stained and oiled and ready for use.

Fact File

There are two types of birds that sing songs; Closed learners will learn their songs in the first few weeks of life and will never change it, and Open learners that constantly change their song.

Tuis are classed as open learners and pick up many different sounds throughout their lives. Often in city environments the Tui can be heard imitating sounds of cell phones, jingles and many other city sounds. In a more natural forest environment with lots of kiwis in it, the Tui ‘s song has a very distinctive kiwi sound. In recent research it has been shown that the Tui’s voice contains over 300 “songs”. “Songs” are new notes that have been picked up and not learnt from their parents.

”Have you ever seen or heard a bird in your garden and were not quite sure what it was? Now the waiting is over!”
