This is a real tui

• A tui is a native bird of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Sings a lot better than I do, eats nectar and fruit, is a bit bigger than a blackbird and looks black from a distance but is really covered with iridescent rainbows of purple and blues and greens, (my favourite colours) It has a little white tuft at the throat and a pretty lace collar of white feathers around its neck. They are one of the few natives which are successfully adapting from life in the bush to life in the "burbs".
• It is also a brand of beer. Sometimes when I tell people my name is Tui they tell me theirs is Steinlager or DB. Sigh!
