A spotlight on these beautiful birds Steve. Now another species that humans can no doubt claim to have had an hand in their demise, as you say higher, they liked the feathers too much. Hui is a great first name for a man too, I am sure your father has always been proud of the link.

Cheers, Herb

Herb the family name the two children born in the bush by bird names Tui & Huia the one born in hospital Marge. I think the two born in the bush the better names . Sad that the bird is no longer here but for special effects or like this. Proud my father has the name.
