About Tīoriori:
Tīoriori the Tūī is part of the New Zealand Wildlife Collection. Tīoriori is a slightly larger than life Tūī with a simplified body shape to make it easy to create while keeping her colourful plumage. Tīoriori is a friendly bird who loves nothing more than to sing her days away, and showing off her bright feathers! Tūī once used to be trained by Māori to repeat welcoming speeches but now they enjoy being free throughout New Zealand and feasting on any nectar they can find. So come make Tīoriori to be a lovely colourful addition to your family!
