| Growing around them were matai, totara and rimu trees, home to native pigeons, tui, bellbirds, and fantails. |
| Soldiers when going to war call on tui for help, and they like to begin a battle on Tuesday. |
| Other snares were set on the miro-trees, of whose sweet berries the pigeons and tui were particularly fond. |
| The bell-bird and the tui sing a requiem over them by day, while the morepork and the kiwi wail for them at night. |
| They cut three heavy bunches and were returning home, when Glu and tui began to quarrel, on the steep mountain path. |
| For years it was widely held that the stitchbird was part of the tui and bellbird family of honeyeaters. |
