Thanks to my guide, I was able to see the bearded bellbird, which you often hear in the forest because it makes an incredibly loud noise like a hammer striking an anvil, but which you rarely see. |
In this area you may see the brown creeper, tomtit, robin, bellbird, rifleman, wood pigeon, falcon and kea. |
For bird species we can cite the red and blue macaw, the brown-throated parakeet, the king vulture, the white bellbird, the hummingbird, and capuchin bird. |
The piercing call of a bellbird draws attention to a soundtrack of bush noises. |
In addition to the tui, another New Zealand species of honeyeater, known as the bellbird for its clear, bell-like call, commonly opens mistletoe flowers. |
There is still the song of the bellbird and the other birds are still to be seen and heard, but not in such abundance. |
