'Flying free’ (tūī) limited edition print
'Flying free’ (tūī) limited edition print
The tūī is a boisterous, vocal and widespread native New Zealand bird, recognisable by its distinctive iridescent feathers and its white poi (neck feathers). The artwork was referenced with permission from a stunning image by John Parker (Maddox Photography). Being situated in the Waikato, surrounded by amazing bird locations - like Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari and Mount Pirongia - has helped John photograph some of New Zealand’s rarest birds and receive national awards for his photography, while inspiring and educating people about our birdlife. John captured the tūī photo in Kihikihi, where numbers have significantly increased thanks to the ‘Hamilton Halo Project’.
Like much of NZ, native birds have diminished in Hamilton due to introduced predators such as rats and possums, and loss of habitat and food sources due to city growth and farming. The aim of the Hamilton Halo project is to bring native birds such as tūī and bellbirds back into Hamilton city. Since the Hamilton Halo project started in 2007, tūī numbers have increased significantly, including several reports of tūī breeding in the city. Hamilton Halo is working with Hamilton City Council, community groups and land owners, on pest control and plantings at key sites within the city.
